1. Space plants 12-16" apart in well-drained soil in full sun.
2. Plants begin to change color from green when temperatures drop below 72 during the day and 59 at night.
3. Flowering Kale is edible, though more bitter than garden varieties. Prepare it by boiling leaves first and then sauteing them in olive oil. Colorful leaves also make a lovely garnish.
For best results with Flowering Kale Nagoya Mix, plant one rooted plug per 4-inch container. Use a well-drained soil in full sun with a pH of 5.8-6.2, EC of .9-1.3 (1:2) / 2.7-4.6 (PourThru) / 2.1-3.5 (SME), and medium feed (150-200 ppm N). Reduce feed to 100-150 ppm N at the first signs of color. Maintain temperatures of 50-68 degrees. In warmer temperatures, this plant may need PGRs. Color is dependent on temperature, based on whether the plant can synthesize chlorophyll; the flowering kale will only be green in temperatures above 72 (day) and 59 (night). You may see aphids, caterpillars, and cutworms. Watch for botrytis and downy mildew in wet or humid conditions.
This plant is grown for its ornamental foliage.
This plant doesn't require pinching.
Space containers for adequate airflow around each plant and to allow sunlight to penetrate to the soil level.
If you're growing this plant in warm temperatures, use a drench of paclobutrazol (Bonzi) at 2-5 ppm to maintain a compact habit. We do not recommend using B-Nine on Flowering Kale because it delays color.
You may see aphids, caterpillars, and cutworms, however this plant tends to be less affected by pests in landscape applications because it grows in cooler temperatures.
This plant isn't prone to disease, but watch for botrytis and downy mildew during humid or wet conditions. Prevent fungal disease by allowing the plant to dry out between waterings, providing good airflow in your greenhouse, and spacing containers to allow the sun to penetrate to the soil level. Water at the base of each plant in the morning. Treat botrytis with Medallion and Banrot as a drench according to each label’s instructions.
