Description
Dynasty Pink is an ornamental kale (Brassica oleracea) grown for its decorative rosette of ruffled green, creamy white and pink leaves. The color becomes especially attractive as fall temperatures cool. Compact plants, often around 6–12 inches tall and 12–18 inches wide, make excellent accents in cool-season pots, borders and mass plantings.
Growing in Alabama and the Southeast
In Alabama, set ornamental kale out in fall for the best winter display. Grow in full sun to light shade in fertile, well-drained soil, and water consistently while roots establish. Cool weather strengthens the foliage color, while prolonged heat can reduce its ornamental quality. Remove yellowing outer leaves as needed and protect container roots during unusually hard freezes. Dynasty Pink is grown mainly for ornamental use rather than food production.
