kale 'Redbor' F1

borecole or Brassica oleracea (Acephala Group) 'Redbor

RHS award of garden merit
Product Image
Generous heads of vivid burgundy-coloured, deeply-crinkled leaves on a statuesque plant that looks good enough to plant in the ornamental border.

The colour intensifies to deep purple with cold, kale ‘Redbor’ is a fine winter veg garden, shrugging off frosts and continuing to produce its delicious young leaves right through the coldest months.

How to care for kale Redbor F1:

Keep well-watered and protect from pigeons until established: Tuscan kale can be picked from early autumn onwards. Grow under mesh or fleece in early summer to protect from caterpillars.

Sowing instructions:

Sow direct into drills in a well-prepared seed bed in spring and thin seedlings to 5cm (2in) apart as they grow. When they reach about 15cm (5in) tall, transplant to their final growing site leaving about 45cm (18in) between plants.
