Kale, Scarlet
(Brassica oleracea var. acephala)

Scarlet Kale is a striking curly kale variety known for its deep purple-red leaves and excellent cold tolerance. The tightly ruffled foliage intensifies in color as temperatures cool, making it both a productive food crop and a beautiful addition to fall and winter gardens. With a rich flavor and hearty texture, Scarlet Kale performs well in a wide range of culinary uses.

Key Characteristics

  • Deep Purple Curly Leaves
    Tightly curled leaves develop a vibrant burgundy to deep purple color, especially in cool weather. The dramatic foliage adds strong visual contrast to vegetable beds and edible landscapes.
  • Cold Hardy & Frost Sweetened
    Scarlet Kale thrives in cool conditions and becomes sweeter after exposure to frost. Its hardiness allows harvests well into late fall and winter in many regions.
  • Rich Flavor for Cooking
    Leaves are hearty with a robust kale flavor. Excellent for sautéing, soups, stews, roasting, and nutrient-dense greens dishes.
  • Productive Upright Plants
    Plants grow upright and produce abundant leaves over a long harvest window. Harvest outer leaves regularly to encourage continued growth.
