Scarlet Kale Seeds

Scarlet Kale is a beautifully colored, frilly-leaved variety, with all the health benefits you’d expect from leafy greens. In about a month you’ll be enjoying tender baby greens, or allow some plants to mature to their full size of 2–3 feet tall and 2 feet wide. This variety loves the chill, and its color deepens as the temps drop.
