Redbor kale seeds produce tall plants with the darkest red colour of all kales. After frost the leaves turn even darker and sweeter at the same time.

Hybrid vigour means fast, uniform growth and consistent results every time. The splendid red leaves make excellent garnishes - they even look good in flower arrangements. Add finely chopped kale leaves to salads, or use the whole leaves cooked or in smoothies for a delicious blast of nutrients. A single serving of red kale contains 150mg of calcium, and that's 15% of the recommended daily dosage. Winner of the RHS Award of Garden Merit.

These seeds are coated with an inert, organically certified layer which helps to minimize clumping in storage and seed sowing machines. The coating is approved by organic certifiers in Canada, the US, EU, and Japan.

Timing
Direct sow in early spring to mid-summer for summer to winter harvests. Or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost, and transplant out as soon as the soil warms up. Optimal soil temperature: 10-30°C (50-85°F). Seeds should germinate in 7-10 days.

Starting
Sow 3-4 seeds 5mm (¼”) deep in each spot you where a plant is to grow. Thin to the strongest plant. Space 45-60cm (18-24″) apart in rows 75-90cm (30-36″) apart.

Companion Planting
All Brassicas benefit from chamomile, dill, mint, rosemary, and sage. Avoid planting near eggplants, peppers, potatoes, or tomatoes, as the acidic soil these plants thrive in can cause problems for Brassicas.
