Ornamental Kale Seeds

Brassica oleracea

This is an ornamental plant; although the leaves can be eaten, they’re really only good for garnish or as a base for such dishes as egg salad or hors d’oeuvres. Ornamental Kale also known as Flowering Kale will provide outstanding color under cooler temperatures. Generally leaves are darker than the center, making this item that is great for fall landscape.  There are also a few of unusual taller types that Cut Flower growers desire for their bouquets.  Once night temperatures stay at or below 50 degrees, count on flowering kale to brighten your vegetable garden, flower bed, or containers after about two to four weeks. Pansies and chrysanthemums won't cut it for autumn color once you've discovered ornamental kale. This cool-weather plant offers large, leafy rosettes of brilliant pinks and purples, offset by green or ivory.
