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.
Matures in 50 days. (Hybrid seeds)
