Kale - Curly Roja - Brassica oleracea
Biennial Heirloom. Kale Curly Roja combines beauty and resilience in a cold-hardy brassica. With its frilly, textured green-purple leaves and richly pigmented stems, it makes an excellent dual-purpose ornamental and edible plant. This variety thrives in cool temperatures, with frost intensifying the flavor and color. Whether you're growing it for market or landscape design, Curly Roja stands out for its ornamental beauty and sweet, earthy flavor.
This bulk 1 oz packet is ideal for growers who want to scale up—whether for homegrown produce, school gardens, or small-scale CSA operations. Grows well in raised beds, in-ground gardens, or alongside flowers in an edible landscape. For best results, sow in early spring or late summer for a fall crop. Succession plant every few weeks for a continuous harvest.

Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil and Water: Kale will perform much better in fertile soil with good drainage, organic matter, and a pH range of 5.5-6.5. It needs regular, even watering to avoid bitterness.
Planting and Growing: Kale grows well in both heat and cold and may survive winter. Start indoors 6 weeks before the last frost or seed directly as soon as the soil can be worked. Plant in mid-July for fall harvests.
Harvesting & Storage: Harvest young leaves for salads. Older leaves are best steamed or cooked. Flavor improves after a light frost.
