Notes
'Scarlet Kale' broccoli (Brassica oleracea 'Scarlet Kale') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. Few crops handle cold as well, and with a little winter protection it grows on through light freezes. This plant likes full or part sun. It reaches 24 to 36 inches tall, and butterflies and bees visit it. It is also drought tolerant.
Pairs well with Dark Opal basil, Super Chili pepper, and Woodland strawberry.
