This decorative kale was a spontaneous purchase back in November, and I’ve really enjoyed watching it grow.

Your decorative Kale is fantastic. I’ve never seen anything like it before … at least not around here anyway.

Different types of decorative kales seem to be used pretty extensively in winter plantings (alongside pansies and a few other plants) in Charleston – they were new to me before I moved here – but almost everyone dead-heads the kales as soon as they start forming buds. I think that they’re really missing out on a fun stage of their growth! You can click on the planting to see what it looked like earlier in the season, in its “appropriate” decorative stage. :)

It’s really neat looking. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an ornamental kale blooming before.

I like the exuberance of it! Brings to mind fireworks, or a cheerleader for the garden. It was compact for months, then suddenly went… SPROING!!
