KALE REFLEX (6)
$178.95
6 x 9cm Potted Plants
Recent breeding has given Kale ‘Reflex’ more intensely curled, succulent and nutritious, dark leaves which stand well without yellowing. This delicious curly kale can be picked over a long period or can also be used as a baby salad leaf ingredient . Excellent winter hardiness makes kale a useful winter to spring vegetable at a time when fresh garden produce is scarce. Height: 90cm (35″). Spread: 60cm (24″).
Companion planting: Try growing kale with Nasturtium to draw cabbage white butterflies away from your crop, and Mint to help deter flea beetles.
Growing Information
Grow kale in firm, rich fertile, well drained soil in sun or semi shade. Prepare the soil in early spring by adding plenty of well rotted farmyard manure to the soil to improve its structure and fertility. Apply lime to acid soils to reduce the acidity and lessen the risk of clubroot. When transplanting kale, plant it slightly deeper in the ground than it was in the tray provided. Plant kale at a distance of 60cm (24?) apart and cover with a protective netting or fleece to prevent attack from birds and insects. Water the plants thoroughly after planting.
