This beautiful finely curled dark mahogany purple kale is vigorous and extremely cold resistant. It can be harvestable over a long period – snip leaves from the bottom of the plant as needed. Redbor adds striking colour to salads and has a nice mild taste. After frost, the leaves get even darker and sweeter in flavour. Redbor blanches green and has a delicate taste. Leaves can be picked early for baby leaf production. It can be grown as a gorgeous ornamental in the garden.
