Growing Non-GMO Kamome Series Flowering Kale Vegetable Seeds

Kamome Series flowering Kale is a frost-hardy green that can be sown directly in either the spring or the fall. For the earliest spring color, begin indoors 6-8 weeks prior to the frost. Flowering Kale can be quick to germinate between 1-2 weeks in full lighting. Kamome Series flowering Kale is a hardy spring and mild winter performer and will benefit from shade during the long summer months. Plants can tolerate heavy moisture.

If your Kale seedlings start to look stringy, the soil may not be fertile or be retaining enough moisture. If your area experiences high winds, protect the Kale plants by mounding up soil around the base of the plants to protect the roots. Avoid planting any variety of brassica in the same location more often than every 5 or 6 years. Frost or prolonged temperatures below 50°F may cause premature bolting.

About Kamome Series Flowering Kale Garden Seeds

Brassica oleracea var. acephala, commonly known as Flowering Kale, is a member of the “acephala” group of Brassica oleracea or "headless" kale. Brassica oleracea includes many of the common cultivars of cabbage, broccoli, kale, collard greens, and Brussels sprouts, but the var. acephala contains the more ornamental "headless" varieties. Unlike the tight and compact heads of edible varieties of kale, acephala kale blooms and flowers to offer elegant, frost-hardy color.

Expect to enjoy 12” wide ‘blooms’ from early summer all the way until the frost takes them.

Although Flowering Kales are edible and non-toxic, it is discouraged for consumption. These have been selectively bred for looks and not flavor or texture and are therefore lacking in the culinary department.
