Notes
'Starbor' kale (Brassica oleracea 'Starbor') 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 and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It matures in 55 days and has an erect habit. Bees and butterflies visit its spring and summer blooms.
Pairs well with Thai basil, Scotch Bonnet pepper, and Georgia Peach coral bells.
