Frost-Tolerant, Ornamental Kale with Wavy Leaf Patterns

Brighten your fall and winter garden with the crisp texture and striking color of White Kamome Ornamental Kale. This compact, cold-hardy plant forms tight rosettes of frilly, layered leaves with an eye-catching white center.

Perfect for patios, entryways, and mixed borders, White Kamome thrives in chilly conditions. Its upright habit stays neat and tidy, even as frosts arrive, and the foliage actually intensifies in color as temperatures drop, giving your outdoor space vibrancy through the coldest months. This kale thrives in zones 3-6 as an Annual, or zones 7-11 as a Biennial.

This dwarf kale is low-maintenance and pest-resistant, requiring little care once established. Its unique appearance makes it a favorite for seasonal displays, especially when paired with ornamental cabbage, pansies, or grasses. Plant it as a solo accent or en masse for a dramatic focal point.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Choose a location with full sun to part shade and well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Place the plant so the top of the root ball sits slightly above ground level. Backfill with soil, gently firm it in, and water thoroughly to settle.

2. Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy, especially after planting. Once established, ornamental kale is somewhat drought-tolerant and prefers to dry slightly between waterings.

3. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at planting. A light feeding once or twice during the growing season will keep foliage lush and vibrant.

4. Pruning: No pruning is necessary. Remove any yellowing outer leaves as needed to maintain a tidy appearance.
