Striking frosty green foliage & white veining is tasty at any stage due to its tolerance to cool & hot climates. Hardy and tenderly sweet after the fall weather sets in, extending your growing season. Looks beautiful planted for baby greens with Red Russian kale for a lovely mixed greens salad or for an ornamental edible border.
PLANTING
Brassica oleracea
Germination: 3-10 days
Germination Temperature: Optimum soil temperatures 70-85ºF.

Starting Indoors: 4-6 weeks before last frost. Sow 2-3 seeds per cell/pot. Thin to the strongest seedling. Fertilize the seedlings every 7-10 days with a liquid or water soluble fertilizer, diluted to ¼ of suggested measurement. Transplant a week or two before last frost. Space 12-18" apart. Sow in midsummer for fall crops.
Sowing Outdoors: Starting in spring when soil temperature reaches at least 55ºF. Sow 2-3 seeds every 12-18”. Sow closer to harvest baby greens. Thin to the strongest seedling per space. Sow in midsummer for fall crops. Germination is slower at lower soil temperatures.

This kale is the best tasting kale I have ever eaten and is very easy to grow through the winter in my zone 7 garden. Of the many varieties I have tried this is my favorite being the sweetest and is very tender cooking quicker than others. I hope to always have this variety in my fall and winter garden. It is a winner! In fact since I discovered this variety I have not grown any other varieties.
This is the best flavored kale of the 4 varieties I've grown. But what has really impressed me is the springs 'raab' or regrowth from the plants that overwintered under straw. It is now June 7 and I am still harvesting succulent leaves even while it is bolting. Will definitely save seed and plant again!
