The listing, Kale Seeds - Scarlet Variety - Non-GMO, Heirloom - Great for late planting! has ended.

Kale 'Scarlet' produces highly decorative, dark green, red veined leaves which show more color as colder weather approaches. This superb curly Kale makes a delicious 'salad leaf' when young, or can be grown to maturity for a supply of winter greens at a time when fresh vegetable are scarce in the garden. Mature plants show excellent winter hardiness, standing well in the harshest weather for a long season of harvest. Height: 35”. Spread: 24”.
Kale is exceptionally hardy and requires little aftercare. Water when necessary and hoe between plants regularly to prevent weeds from establishing and bring insect larvae to the surface. Kale can be harvested from September as young leaves using a cut and come again method, but will stand well in the ground for a long time throughout winter, and improves in flavor after it has been frosted. Pinch out the center stem first to encourage side shoots to develop. Harvest kale when it is required as the leaves do not store well, unless they are frozen.
