Kale Winterbor Hybrid
Frost improves the flavor!
Frilly blue-green leaves are sweet and tender.
65 days. Kale Redbor Hybrid introduced an ornamental element to this nutritious cool-season crop, and Winterbor continues the tradition with brilliant blue-green color that looks as decorative as it is delicious!
The flavor of Winterbor intensifies with frost, and if used for ornamental purposes it lasts well into winter in mild climates! As an edible, it is unsurpassed for extra-mild, sweet Kale tang. The frilly leaves reach 3 feet high and 2 feet wide.
Ideal for spring or fall crops, Winterbor is easy and versatile. Try a companion planting of fiery Redbor Hybrid, or interplant with fall annuals for a gorgeous display of color and texture!
Sow seeds directly in rows about 2 feet apart, thinning the seedlings (which are delicious!) to about 15 inches apart. Pkt is 50 seeds.
