Thompson & Morgan Kale Jardin Mixed

BUYERS NOTES

This beautiful kale mix produces vibrant pink to red and ivory white fan-shaped leaves with highly frilled edges. Delicious and nutritious when steamed as with traditional green kale; leaves can also be used as an attractive garnish or to brighten salads.

Sowing Information:

Sow in individual pots or in a seed tray of good quality seed compost and cover with 6mm (¼in) of vermiculite or compost and maintain at a minimum temperature of 15˚C (60˚F) until germination which takes 5-7 days. Alternatively, seed can be sown thinly 12mm (½in) deep in a prepared seedbed outside, allowing 30cm (12in) between rows.

Growing Information:

Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle after about 5 weeks from sowing to 50cm (20in) between rows and 40cm (16in) between plants in the row. Plant firmly and keep well-watered until established. Use fleece to protect against caterpillar and aphid attack as necessary, and use netting to protect against pigeons during the winter.
