How to grow Kale 'Redbor'

  • Full Sun

  • Low

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to apply water fairly sparingly. Keep in mind when planting that Redbor is thought of as very hardy, so this plant will tend to survive through freezing conditions. Ideally plant in loamy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.0 and 7.5 as Redbor likes to be in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Growing Redbor from seed

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 2.97 inches (7.62 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.25 inches (0.64 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 13°C / 55°F to ensure good germination.

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

Transplanting Redbor

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Redbor is a very hardy plant.
