Redstart is one of a family of new generation rape/kale hybrids that offers high yields, excellent palatability and superior regrowth ability. Redstart delivers very good winter hardiness. Redstart has good resistance to bolting and is therefore suited to spring sowing, or can be sown later for autumn/winter grazing.
