Ornamental Kale: Cool-Season Color for Containers and Beds

Ornamental Kale delivers dramatic, ruffled foliage in shades of white, pink, purple, and green when temperatures drop. A staple for fall and winter containers, beds, and window boxes where flowers have faded.

Secrets of Success

• Light: High light indoors / full to part sun outdoors
• Water: Keep moist; ensure good drainage
• Fertilizer: Feed regularly during growing season
• Humidity: Thrives with misting, pebble tray, or grouping with other houseplants
• Temperature: Comfortable indoor temperatures

Colors intensify after frost. Plant in early fall for maximum head development. Combine with pansies, mums, and ornamental grasses for seasonal containers. Remove flowering bolts in spring as plants decline.
