Are you looking for super tasty greens packed with nutrients and fiber? Look no further! Kale Storm Mixed Kale will ravish your tastebuds and brighten your garden with its many varieties of kale, all in one plant start! This kale offers a tornado of varied verdant green, blue, and purple colors with incredibly crisp tastes and textures. Kale Storm Mixed Kale can be eaten fresh, sauteed, stewed, steamed, or even as part of a delicious smoothie! Just snip leaves off the plants from the outer base, working inwards once the leaves have reached about 6-8 inches in length, and leave the heart of the plant to continue growing all season long. This plant is also shade tolerant, cold tolerant, bolt resistant, and low maintenance!
Kale Storm Mixed Kale Care
Plant this kale in early spring in an area that receives full sun, ideally in loamy, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.5. This variety will tolerate less-rich soils, which might ultimately affect the flavor. If you are planting seeds, make holes a quarter-inch deep, spaced 12-14 inches apart so the plants can reach their mature size. Make sure to weed the beds thoroughly, as the weeds will compete with the kale plants for nutrients.
Growing Kale Storm Mixed Kale
Growing to full maturity in just 21 to 35 days, this kale could be on your plate in under a month! Once established, mulch the base of the stem to conserve moisture, keep the plant cool, and protect the root structure, which is just under the ground. Unlike some other leafy greens, frost is this kale's best friend and is known to enrich its flavor.
This delightfully diverse mix can be grown in various ways! It can be planted directly in the ground, cultivated hydroponically, or grown in containers or raised beds. If grown in a container, plant this mix 4-6 weeks before the last frost date in an area that receives 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Container kale can dry out faster than kale planted in the ground, so monitor its moisture.
Watering Kale Storm Mixed Kale
Water kale plants well and deeply whenever the soil dries out; kale is a very thirsty plant! If you are unsure if your plant needs water, test the soil by sticking your finger in the top layer, and if the ground feels dry, water it.
Feeding Kale Storm Mixed Kale
Fertilize kale plants every two weeks with a nitrogen-rich fertilizer to keep their growth steady and robust.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
