Kale 'Red Chidori'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to apply water fairly sparingly. Keep in mind when planting that Red Chidori is thought of as very hardy, so this plant will typically do well in a variety of different extremes of cold temperature. Ideally plant in loamy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.0 and 7.5 as Red Chidori likes to be in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.25 inches (0.64 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 2.97 inches (7.62 cm) between Kale plants. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 13°C / 55°F to ensure good germination.

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

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