Young Redbor kale exhibiting a deep purple color and the unique eye-catching texture.
(Brassica oleracea ‘Redbor’)
Redbor kale delivers a dramatic display of red-purple foliage, adding visual interest when paired with such cool-season blooming annuals as dianthus and violas. Its leaves are frilled and cleaved, providing a unique texture to a garden that highlights surrounding plantings. Redbor kale is also the first edible Louisiana Super Plant, and it boasts a flavor identical to store-bought kale varieties. Plant Redbor kale seeds or transplants in the fall so that you can enjoy it throughout the cool season. Redbor kale is extremely cold tolerant and can handle a freeze with minimal damage. It can be planted as a background foliage plant or as a colorful focal point in the landscape. Redbor kale can also be planted in large containers using a well-draining, fertile potting soil.
