Description

Pink Feather Ornamental Kale is a striking cool-season ornamental plant. It forms tight, compact rosettes of deeply ruffled, feathery leaves that turn a vivid bright pink as temperatures drop in autumn. The outer leaves remain green, creating a beautiful two-tone contrast. This variety is highly valued for its cold tolerance and long-lasting ornamental performance, making it a top choice for fall and winter landscaping when most other flowers have faded. Perfect for flower beds, garden borders, patio containers, and public landscape displays.

Detailed Planting Guide

  1. Sowing time: Sow in mid-summer to early autumn (July–September), so plants mature in cool fall weather.
  2. Seed starting: Sow seeds 6–8 weeks before intended transplanting date. Cover seeds lightly with 5–8 mm of fine soil.
  3. Germination: Optimal temperature 18–24°C. Keep seedling medium moist; germination occurs in 7–14 days.
  4. Transplanting: Move seedlings to garden beds or containers when they have 4–6 true leaves. Space plants 30–40 cm apart.
  5. Site & soil: Full sun to partial shade. Prefers fertile, well-drained soil with pH 6.0–7.5.
  6. Water & care: Keep soil evenly moist, avoid waterlogging. Apply balanced fertilizer during active growth.
  7. Color development: Pink leaf color becomes most vivid after exposure to cool temperatures (below 15°C) and light frost.

Packaging & Shipping: Sealed moisture-proof inner bag preserves seed vitality. Outer shock-absorbing packaging protects seeds from squeezing and dampness during international transit.
