You may ask what's the difference between ornamental kale and regular kale?Apart from their looks, a key difference between this and the leafy greens you buy at the grocery store is that this variety isn't grown for flavour and as a result, the ornamental stuff is much less flavourful than the (edible) culinary leafy greens. However, the leaves of these varieties are safe to eat or just have as a decorative garnish.Sharply ruffled, blue-gray foliage, with the inner leaves coloring after weather turns cool. Great in a fall container. Cold temperatures encourage colour.Available in a variety of colours: red, rose, white, pigeon red and pigeon purple.Sold in a 1 litre pot.
