Yokohama Mix Flowering Kale Seeds

Yokohama Mix Flowering Kale is a distinctive and elegant ornamental kale prized for its finely cut, feather-like foliage and brilliant cool-season coloration. Unlike traditional flowering kales with heavily ruffled leaves, the Yokohama series develops delicately fringed foliage that creates a graceful, lace-like appearance. The colorful centers emerge in shades of rose, pink, red, cream, and white, surrounded by soft blue-green outer leaves that form perfectly symmetrical rosettes.

The unique texture gives Yokohama Mix an almost snowflake-like appearance, making it one of the most refined ornamental foliage plants available for autumn and winter gardens. As temperatures cool, the colorful centers intensify dramatically, producing displays that remain attractive long after most annual flowers have disappeared.

Growing Information

Yokohama Mix thrives in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Plants typically grow 10 to 14 inches tall and 12 to 16 inches wide, forming elegant rosettes of finely dissected foliage.

The plants perform best in cool weather, with color intensifying as temperatures drop. Light frosts often enhance the coloration, creating spectacular displays throughout autumn and winter.
