Bring on the cooler temps of fall and winter, and the lowly ornamental kale steps into the limelight. 'Pigeon Purple' is stunning in container planters, hanging baskets, and borders, where its rounded purplish center leaves stand out against the outer green leaves. Eye-catching on its own, 'Pigeon Purple' also pairs well with other winter hardy plants, bringing color and light to winter-dark gardens. Ornamental kale can withstand light freezes, but if the temperature drops suddenly, it may not survive.
