The purple color of the leaves and stems comes from anthocyanins, which the plant produces in greater quantities as temperatures fall—hence the most intense color in November and December. The leaves are finely crinkled and firm, with a slightly sweet, nutty flavor that becomes even milder after frost. Its nutritional value is the same as that of green varieties, plus an additional serving of antioxidants from the pigments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe variety is exceptionally frost-hardy—it withstands −15°C without protection—and in good conditions overwinters until the following spring, when it produces young, tender flowering shoots that are also edible. The tall plants need a little more space than dwarf varieties, but in return they provide leaves for many months.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eGrowing step by step\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eSowing (April to mid-June):\u003c\/strong\u003e under cover in trays or directly outdoors in a seedbed, at a depth of 1–1.5 cm, at a temperature of 15–20°C. Germination occurs after 5–8 days. Earlier sowing produces an autumn harvest, while later sowing (May–June) produces a winter harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003ePricking out \/ thinning:\u003c\/strong\u003e prick out seedlings from trays into 6–8 cm pots; thin seedlings in the seedbed to 5 cm apart. The seedlings should be sturdy, with thick stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003ePlanting out (June to July):\u003c\/strong\u003e at the 3–4-leaf stage, spacing plants 70 × 60 cm apart—this is a large plant. Choose a sunny, fertile, limed site where the kale can remain until spring. Plant it deeper than it was growing and firm the soil well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e water in summer, mulch, and protect with insect netting against cabbage white butterflies. It is worth earthing up tall plants at the base or tying them to a stake so that wind and snow do not knock them over. Harvest the lower leaves, leaving the growing tip intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eUses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eScarlet is kale \u003cstrong\u003efor both cooking and decoration\u003c\/strong\u003e: the purple leaves look striking in salads, on sandwiches, and as a garnish, while boiled, braised with garlic, or baked into chips, they taste like classic kale.

In the garden, it works well \u003cstrong\u003ein borders\u003c\/strong\u003e and in autumn and winter arrangements with heathers, grasses, and ornamental cabbages—it is one of the few plants that really has color in January.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eGardener's tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #f5f3ee; border-left: 4px solid #656B39; padding: 12px 16px; margin: 1em 0;\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003eWant the most beautiful color? Do not overdo the nitrogen—excess fertilizer produces lush but greenish leaves. Plant in full sun and let the plant experience frost: after a series of frosts, Scarlet turns almost black-purple, and its leaves are sweetest then.
