Kamome Bright Red Flowering Kale (Brassica oleracea)

Kamome Bright Red Flowering Kale (Brassica oleracea) is a stunning ornamental kale prized for its deeply fringed foliage and brilliant red centre colouring. This cool-season favourite develops a beautifully textured rosette of ruffled leaves, with rich green outer foliage surrounding a vibrant crimson-red heart that intensifies as temperatures cool.

The dramatic colour contrast and intricate leaf texture make Kamome Bright Red an exceptional choice for fall planters, garden borders, mixed containers, and seasonal landscape displays. Unlike flowering annuals that fade as temperatures drop, ornamental kale reaches its peak beauty during the cooler months of the growing season, providing vibrant colour when many other plants are declining.

Kamome Bright Red forms a compact, symmetrical mound that maintains a tidy appearance throughout the season. Its finely serrated and fringed foliage adds texture and visual interest to both formal and informal garden designs. The plant pairs beautifully with ornamental grasses, pansies, violas, chrysanthemums, and other cool-season favourites.

In Alberta, Kamome Bright Red Flowering Kale thrives during spring and fall, with foliage colour becoming even more vivid after exposure to cool temperatures and light frosts.
