Kale 'Red Ursa'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to apply water fairly sparingly. Keep in mind when planting that Red Ursa is thought of as very hardy, so this plant will tend to go dormant over the long winter months. Planting Red Ursa in loamy soil with a ph of between 6.0 and 7.5 is ideal for as it does best in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

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). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 13°C / 55°F to ensure good germination.

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

As Red Ursa is very hardy, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
