A mixture between Kale and Brussels Sprouts which has resulted in rosette crops, each with frilly edges, coloured green and purple with deeply coloured veins. They taste more like spring greens than Brussels Sprouts which makes them an ideal alternative for those who dislike sprouts! They are easy to grow and easy to pick, perfect for adding to stir fries or serving steamed with other winter greens. Sow seeds from April to early June. Sow seeds thinly in a well prepared seed bed, 12mm (1/2") deep in drills 23cm (9in) apart. Transplant when large enough to handle, about 5 weeks from sowing, to 50cm (20in) between plants each way.
