This will generally be around mid-August, but gauge by your specific climate or microclimate. 2Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep and lightly cover with the seed-starting mix. They can be kept outdoors as long as the temperatures are warm and you keep them moist. Ornamental kale/cabbage seeds should germinate within 15 days at a temperature of 65-70 F.3Transplant the strongest, most attractive seedlings to 4-inch pots filled with potting soil about a month after they germinate. Water well. Use a potting soil with plant food already added to the mix, or fertilize with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.4Clear weeds and summer annuals from an area of well-drained soil in full sun as evening temperatures begin to regularly dip near 60 F. According to University of California Extension, this can be from early October through November depending on your location. The plants don't begin to show their true colors until temperatures cool and full color can take up to a month to develop.5Dig holes equal to the root ball of each plant in full sun in their final location as evening temperatures drop toward 60 F. Space the holes six inches apart. While standard ornamental kale/cabbage needs 10 to 12 inches between plants to reach it peak, tight spacing encourages the stems of varieties like Sunset to elongate.6Add a scant handful of slow-release fertilizer to the bottom of each hole and pop a small plant in each hole. Firm up the soil and water well. Keep the plants moist as they establish in their new location.7Remove lower leaves of Sunset ornamental kale/cabbage with your fingers, beginning when the plants are 6 inches tall, continuing as they grow until they have a red to deep pink center with one outer layer of green to pink-streaked green leaves and a 10-inch stem. It may take up to four weeks for color to fully develop.8Insert stakes and loosely tie stems to supports once they reach 10 to 12 inches. Sunset has rosettes from 3 to 7 inches across and may grow to 24 inches tall, so though stems are fairly sturdy, supports keep the top-heavy plant from flopping over.9Fertilize once a month with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. While established practice is to cease fertilizing once the plant begins to color, as it may keep color from developing correctly, this may not be the case. Research conducted for growers by North Carolina State University showed that the plants can suffer from nutrient deficiencies when fertilizer is discontinued and show no difference in color development when the plant has regular feedings.Seed Counts All seed counts should be considered estimates.
