Thompson & Morgan

Kale ‘Reflex’ has been recently improved for more intensely curled, dark green leaves which will not yellow. Attractive, nutritious and succulent! Can be picked when young as a salad leaf or left to mature for a healthy winter veg! Otherwise known as curly kale, this is a reliable kitchen garden favourite.For salad eaves Kale can be sown indoors all year round. Harvest 30 days from sowing during summer and up to 60 days during winter months. For mature plants, sow Kale seed from March to June. Direct sow outdoors into a well prepared seedbed, for transplanting to their final positions later on. Sow at a depth of 1cm (1/2") and distance of 23cm (9") between rows. Kale plants can be transplanted to their final positions approximately 5 weeks from sowing.Grow kale in firm, rich fertile, well-drained soil in sun or semi shade. Prepare the soil in early spring by adding plenty of well-rotted farmyard manure to the soil to improve its structure and fertility. Apply lime to acid soils to reduce the acidity and lessen the risk of clubroot. When transplanting kale, plant it slightly deeper in the ground than it was in the seedbed. Plant kale at a distance of 60cm (24") apart and cover with a protective netting or fleece to prevent attack from birds and insects. Water the plants thoroughly after planting.Product Specifications:Position: Full sun, sun or semi shadeHeight: Up to 90cm (35in)Spread: Up to 60cm (24in)Ease of Sowing: Easy for allEase of aftercare: Easy for allSupplied as 1 Packet (30 seeds) Kale ‘Reflex’ F1 Hybrid Images shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity.
