Notes
'Unicorn' kale (Brassica oleracea 'Unicorn') is a vegetable for borders, containers, and food gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It ranks among the more cold-hardy crops, and with some winter protection it keeps growing through light freezes. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Its erect habit suits a border or a pot. Butterflies and bees visit the spring and summer flowers.
Pairs well with Genovese basil, Bouquet dill, and Berggarten sage.
