Good looking enough to plant in an ornamental border Brassica oleracea (Acephala Group) 'Redbor’ (kale, borecole) has vivid burgundy-coloured, crinkled leaves with colour that intensifies to deep purple with cold. This vegetable is useful for the winter productive garden, coping with frosts and continuing to produce its delicious young leaves right through the coldest months. Here it was thriving in the garden of the restaurant 59 degrees North, Sandy, Orkney.
