Harris Seeds Ornamental Kale Seed
Best choice for gardeners seeking vibrant, cold-weather landscape color.
This is the ultimate late-season showstopper for gardens that usually go dormant as the frost hits. While you sacrifice edibility for pure aesthetics, the trade-off is a vibrant, frilly display of deep reds that actually intensifies as the temperature drops, keeping your landscape alive long after the summer blooms fade.
