Baltic Red Kale literally checks all the boxes: dark and beautiful. Highly ruffled leaves that span from green to dark red, with purple veins and stems. Tender and sweet for a red, frilly kale. More vigorous than others of its type. Check, check, checkity check. Mildly flavored leaves turn dark green when cooked. Baltic Red is gorgeous and a great choice for an edible ornamental.
Favorite plant color combos:
Baltic Red Kale + California Sungold Cherry Tomato
Baltic Red Kale + Calendula
Baltic Red Kale + Cardinal Basil
These sturdy plants reach 2' tall and will provide a continuous supply of medium-sized finely curled, red leaves. Good yields & very hardy. The whole plants turn a deep purple red, especially after the first frost. In our climate, kale can grow through the winter without protection. Looks gorgeous planted basically anywhere.
Whether you're a new or seasoned gardener, it can be good to educate yourself about your new plant. We highly recommend (& use ourselves) the Almanac's Growing Guides.
