A luscious bouquet of a spring (or fall) planting, the Kale, Color & Chard Container Garden combines bright pansies, rainbow-hued Swiss chard, and ruffled green kale in a lively mix. Use tender young chard and kale to add interest, flavor, and vitamins to salads, sautés, soups, or stews. We've spaced these plants a little closer than we would in a traditional garden bed, knowing you won't be able to resist frequent harvests! For planting, use a large metal tub, whiskey barrel, or other 24-inch (or larger) container. Whichever you choose, be sure it has plenty of drainage holes.
For excellent results, fill the container with premium quality potting mix, such as Miracle-Gro® Potting Mix, which is the ideal weight and texture for container growing. Feed plants regularly with Miracle-Gro® Pour & Feed® Singles to ensure they get all the nutrition they need.
