1,000 Seeds
This is one of the hardiest and most tender leaved of all kales. The plant has a mild sweet taste and can grow from 18-36" in height. The stems are purple and the leaves are flat and toothed with purple veins.

Select sunny location and sow seed in the spring as soon as the ground can be worked. Plant again in late July and August for fall and winter harvest. For best results, loosen soil with spade or fork, fertilize and smooth with rake. Firm soil over seed. Keep soil moist, weed free and feed every 4-6 weeks. Pick youngest leaves for fresh use in salads and sandwiches or harvest the tender fully grown leaves starting from the bottom of the plant.
