2011 AAS Cool Season Bedding Plant Winner

This is All-America Selections’ first winning kale (edible or ornamental) in seventy-eight years of trialing! Glamour Red is an excellent achievement in breeding for its unique shiny leaves. The waxless quality of the leaves makes them shiny with a more intense, vivid color as compared to existing ornamental brassicas. Judges noted that the shiny foliage is striking in the landscape and it out-performed comparisons with outstanding success. It is a fringed leaf type Brassica oleracea with flower head size of 10 to 12 inches. This full sun annual will bloom 90 days from sowing seed to the first color. Leaf coloring begins when night temperatures fall below 55 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately two weeks. Expect good disease tolerance in all regions and frost tolerant blooms from November to March in warmer climates.
