When to Plant Ornamental Kale From Seed?
Imagine a decorative plant that not only survives cold snaps and frosts, but seems to thrive on them — that needs them, in fact, for its vivid colors — greens, violets, purples and reds — to fully develop. You’ve just imagined the ornamental kale, a member of the cabbage family and a cool-weather-loving plant that can flourish until December snowfall. With attention to proper planting times — often in mid-summer – and a little care, you can grow ornamental kale from seed, and have bright splashes of color and greenery in your fall garden.
