Description
Flower Sprouts (Brassica oleracea), also widely known by the trade name Kalettes, is a modern open-pollinated hybrid innovation created by crossing classic Brussels sprouts with curly kale. Instead of producing tight, solid buttons, this plant forms stunning, open rosette-like mini heads along sturdy 24- to 36-inch stalks. The frilly rosettes feature vibrant green leaves with rich purple-magenta veining. Combining the sweet, nutty flavor of Brussels sprouts with the fresh texture of kale, Flower Sprouts offer a unique culinary treat—perfect for roasting, sauteing, stir-frying, or enjoying fresh in cold autumn salads.
Best Time for Sowing (Zone 6b):
Start seeds indoors mid-to-late May
transplant outdoors late June to early July. This allows plants to reach full size through summer before setting rosettes that mature during cool autumn weather.:

Flavor and sweetness improve significantly after exposure to autumn frosts and light freezing temperatures
Highly attractive visual appearance with frilly, purple-veined mini rosettes along the main stalk
Long maturation cycle (~110–120 days from transplant) requiring early summer garden space commitment
