Scarlet Kale is a unique variety that produces lovely, scarlet-colored leaves with frilled edges. We've discovered that the red coloring seems to offer some camouflage against hungry rabbits. While our green kale plants occasionally get eaten by rabbits (or chickens), I've never seen the scarlet kale get hit. Last week, (as I write, it's December in Iowa) I finally pulled the last plants and threw them in the chicken coop. Nearly a week later, they've barely touched them, but they have devoured the green kale I threw in with them. Are they invisible? I'm not sure, but I do know that this variety is well worth a try if you have rabbit or chicken issues, or if you just like beautiful, great-tasting kale. 60 days to harvest. Each packet contains a minimum of 100 seeds.
