Kale Mixed Planter 14
Kale Mixed Planter 14

Annual (usually grown as an annual near you) Mounded, Mixed Rosettes in the Brassicaceae Family

A ready-to-display 14in planter of assorted ornamental kale, mixing colorful rosettes for instant fall patio and porch color.

This 14in planter comes pre-planted with an assortment of ornamental kale varieties, combining different leaf colors and forms -- typically shades of white, pink, red, and purple against green -- for a full, colorful display right out of the box. As with other ornamental kale, color deepens as fall temperatures cool.

Grown for its foliage display rather than for eating, it's a low-effort way to add instant seasonal color to a porch, entryway, or patio without assembling and growing individual plants.

Pros

  • Instant, full display -- no need to plant or grow in individual varieties
  • Mixed colors and leaf forms add visual variety in a single container
  • Tolerates light frost and holds its look well into late fall

Cons

  • Grown as a one-season annual display; will not survive winter
  • Susceptible to common ornamental kale pests like cabbage worms and aphids
  • Specific varieties included can vary by availability
Highlights
  • Pre-planted mix of ornamental kale varieties in a 14in container
  • Ready-made fall color for porches, entryways, and patios
  • Color intensifies as temperatures cool through fall

Field-Grown vs. Greenhouse-Grown Plants

Plants which are well-adapted to our local climate are most often field-grown (outside). Field-grown plants are generally cheaper and have the advantage of already somewhat acclimated to our cold winters, but that means they’re not artificially far along in the spring and tend to bloom at the normal time in our area.

Spring annuals and tender perennials are typically grown in Greenhouses so they can be ready and luxurious exactly when customers want them. Some perennials are also “forced” into early bloom in greenhouses. In May, there can be a very big difference between field-grown and greenhouse-grown plants of the same type. The latter typically look good right away (so they’re a great choice where that’s important), but we typically pay a premium for it.

We order from a rotating cast of the best nurseries in the Great Lakes region. It looks like we've offered this plant in the past, but the nurseries we're working with this week don't appear to have it in stock at the moment.

Our goal is to bring as many plants together under "one roof" as possible, so we'll try hard to make it available again in the future!
