With an iron content that is typically 10 times higher than normal best grown for salad leaves rather than full head production..

This kale can be sown virtually all year round.

The intense red colour will fade as the plant matures, however this variety was not bred to be used for mature plants.

They can be direct sown into beds and then harvested 5cm tall in as little as 28 days at peak season. Mixes also vary in suitability for different seasons, some are cold tolerant and grow well as a cold glasshouse crop in winter.

To pot grow, sow direct into pots or trays (1-3 litre) to produce a growing salad. Salad mixes can also be sown direct into pots (use 1-3 litre pots) to sell as growing salads.
