Brassica oleracea Crane Feather Snow

Brassica oleracea Crane Feather Snow Seeds

Brassica oleracea Crane Feather Snow is a refined ornamental kale variety from the Crane Feather series, developed for cut flower production. It produces tall stems topped with uniquely textured, finely cut foliage forming elegant white rosettes.

Unlike standard ornamental kale, this variety features deeply serrated, feather-like leaves that add texture and movement to floral arrangements. It performs best in cool conditions, where the white coloration becomes more pronounced, making it ideal for winter and early spring displays.
