Kale – Rote Krauser

A curly kale that turns deep red as it gets colder

As this curly kale plant grows, its leaves slowly begin to turn and by winter they are a gorgeous purple-red. It’s a little larger than our green Curly Kale (green curled dwarf) and better suited to growing in the ground or in raised beds where it can have a little more space. Growing kale is straightforward using plug plants – just plant them in the ground and keep them well watered. It is best to net them to protect from birds and butterflies, but full growing advice is in the guide included with your plug plants and makes it super simple.

Number of plants: 10 plug plants

Variety: Kale – Rote Krauser (organic*)

In the kitchen: Use kale steamed, baked in a gratin or chucked in stir-fries, stews or even smoothies.
