Know before you buy
This variety is specifically recommended for transplanting rather than direct sowing. Starting seeds in trays allows you to better manage the germination environment and ensure uniform growth before moving them to their final location.
The plant spread can range from 4 to 10 inches depending on how tightly you space them. Closer spacing encourages a more compact, upright habit, which is ideal for high-density production and cut flower stems.
To achieve the best results, keep your soil temperature between 70-75°F during the germination phase. Once the seeds have sprouted, you should aim for a cooler grow-on temperature of 55-60°F to maintain the plant's health and vigor.
No, these seeds should be covered with soil during the planting process. Ensure they are lightly covered to maintain the proper moisture levels needed for the 10-12 day germination period.
You can expect the plants to reach maturity in approximately 105 days. Because they are a hybrid variety, they are bred to reach this stage with consistent size and color across your entire crop.
Yes, this ornamental kale is versatile and can be planted in either the spring or the fall. It thrives in full to partial sun, making it a flexible choice for seasonal floral arrangements throughout the year.
