All-America Selections (AAS) Winner 2011
For the brightest color yet from an Ornamental Kale, rely on this exciting AAS winner. The reds are redder, the greens greener, the heads bigger and more dramatic. For great spring, fall, and even winter (in mild and warm climates) color, count on Glamour Red.
These tightly-packed heads reach 10 to 12 inches wide, with a very large red center. The color begins to show when night temperatures have remained below 55 degrees Fahrenheit for two weeks or more, and continues over a long season. These leaves are not coated with the heavy waxy consistency of most ornamental Kale, so the colors shine more brightly.
Glamour Red reaches about 12 inches high and 14 inches wide, with a ground hugging habit that shows to beautiful advantage in garden or container. Start the seeds about 90 days before you expect the temperatures to dip below 55 degrees Fahrenheit at night, and set them out when the weather is cool. They last and last, sharing their lovely fringed leaves with all. A great companion to Ornamental Kale Sunset and Ornamental Cabbage Park's Color Up Purple, Glamour Red is a treasure for the cool-season garden.
