Notes
'Westlandse Winter' kale (Brassica oleracea 'Westlandse Winter') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. 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. The green leaves are curly, and the plant stands erect. Its spring and summer blooms attract butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with Bouquet dill, Everbearing strawberry, and Genovese basil.
