So I'm growing some scarlet kale through the winter and as you can see the seedling pretty much just looks like regular kale at this point but it is supposed to be a very dark purple (almost black). The seeds were purchased from a reputable source so I'm sure it just takes some time for them to develop that dark coloration. I plan on selling seedlings of this variety at farmers markets but it might be hard to sell if it just looks like every other kale variety. Does anyone know how long it takes for them to start developing the darker coloration?
