BUYERS NOTES
Visually stunning and very versatile kale variety which can be enjoyed when young as baby leaves or left to mature to produce distinctive wine red, curled-edged larger leaves. The high iron content of the leaves can be digested even when eaten raw - unlike spinach. Delicious and nutritious whether eaten cooked or raw.

Keep well watered throughout the growing period to avoid bolting and flavour loss, especially during summer.
