Kale Dwarf Blue Curled Heirloom Seed Brassica oleracea (Acephala group) Item #0130 Days to maturity: 55

Dwarf Blue Curled kale is extremely hardy and will overwinter in all but the coldest climates. Like most greens, it grows best in cool weather but will also withstand some heat. Seeds are very easy to start indoors or outdoors. The flavor of this "cut & come again" crop is actually improved by frost! You will really enjoy kale, particularly in winter soups!

This packet plants ten 10 foot rows.

Days to Emerge: 10 - 14

Seed Depth: 1/4"

Seed Spacing: A group of 4 seeds every 10"

Row Spacing: 18" - 24"

Thinning: When 1" tall, thin to 1 every 10"

When to start inside: 10 weeks before average last frost.

Harvesting: Outer leaves can be periodically harvested, or the whole plant can be cut off at ground level. Plants can also overwinter; mulch thickly when ground freezes for harvest the following spring.
