Curly Kale – Scarlet Borecole (Autumn)

Gorgeous purple leaves!
We’re so excited to add this variety of curly kale to the range for autumn – it’ll grow fantastically over winter as it is really hardy. It’s a larger variety than our Green Curled Dwarf Kale, growing to about 1m tall by the time it reaches full maturity, so you will need to plant in a raised bed or similar, leaving 40cm between plants. The leaves are a wonderful purple that take on a blue tint after the first frosts – really magnificent looking!

Number of plants: 10

Variety: Scarlet Borecole (organic*)

In the kitchen: This is an incredibly nutritious vegetable. It can be steamed, baked or fried with a drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle of seasoning to make delicious kale crisps or used in smoothies.
