Features
Looking for a true showstopping kale that is both edible and ornamental and lasts all season? Choose Rainbow Candy Crush. Young, purple-green, spring leaves form a neatly mounded, bushy habit that won’t bolt or stretch. As the season progresses and nighttime temperatures turn cooler, the pink and purple leaves with green edges intensify to brilliant fuchsia pink. The tender, non-bitter leaves have a pleasantly sweet flavor that are delicious eaten fresh, mixed into salads and smoothies, or made into kale chips. This smaller selection fits well into containers and small garden spaces.
