How to grow Kale 'Winterbor'

  • Full Sun

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to apply water fairly sparingly. Winterbor is generally regarded as a very hardy plant, so this plant will tend to go dormant over the long winter months. Winterbor needs a loamy soil with a ph of 6.0 to 7.5 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Growing Winterbor from seed

Aim to sow 0.25 inches (0.64 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 2.97 inches (7.62 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 13°C / 55°F.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Winterbor about 49 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Winterbor

Winterbor is very hardy, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
