#46 – Ornamental Kale for Fall
Did you know that there are gorgeous varieties of kale that grow tall enough to be used in bouquets? Today, Lisa and Layne discuss one of fall’s most beautiful cut “flowers” – ornamental kale. They cover the differences between cut-flower and bedding or culinary varieties, when to start your seeds for a fall harvest, the risks of starting too early or too late, how to space your seedlings for the perfect head and stem size, the importance of support netting, pest management, conditioning tips, the variety of leaf shapes and colors in the ‘Crane’ series, flowers to pair with kale, and more. Listen to the podcast and get ready for a spectacular ornamental kale harvest this fall!
The video version of Lisa and Layne’s conversation will be posted to The Gardener’s Workshop’s YouTube channel, where all “Seed Talk” episodes are organized into a playlist. In addition, auto-generated transcripts are available for viewing on YouTube.
