Kale 'Redbor' is a variety of kale that is known for its strikingly beautiful deep purple-red leaves. 'Redbor' kale produces tightly curled leaves that are deeply lobed and have a slightly frilly appearance. The leaves are a rich dark purple-red colour, which intensifies as the plant matures. The plant itself can grow up to 80cm tall, making it an impressive addition to any garden or landscape.

In addition to its ornamental value, 'Redbor' kale is also highly nutritious and flavourful. It has a slightly sweeter and more delicate flavour than some other varieties of kale, which makes it a great addition to salads, soups, and stir-fries. The leaves are also packed with vitamins and minerals, making it a healthy choice for anyone looking to boost their nutrient intake.

One of the benefits of kale is its cold hardiness. It is able to withstand cold temperatures and can be grown in the autumn and winter months in many regions. This makes it a great choice for gardeners who want to keep fresh produce on their table throughout the winter.

'Redbor' kale is relatively easy to grow and can be cultivated in a variety of soil types and conditions. It does best in full sun to partial shade and requires regular watering to ensure that the soil stays moist.

When growing kale, it is recommended to use companion planting techniques to maximize its potential. For instance, planting Nasturtiums alongside the kale can help draw cabbage white butterflies away from the crop, while planting mint can help deter flea beetles. To protect kale from pigeons and insects keep it covered with netting.
