This organic Heirloom variety produces flat, toothed, grey-green leaves with a vibrant purple-red central stem. The purple-red colour of these robust plants intensifies as the temperature decreases in the fall, offering a beautiful sight in the autumn garden. When cooked, the leaves turn a rich, dark green, revealing a soft, tender texture that is wonderful for braising. This kale is very winter hardy, and its flavour is only improved by exposure to the cold, making it a reliable and hearty addition to your organic patch.

Kale is a nutritional powerhouse. It is an excellent source of Vitamins K, A, and C, and is also a good source of dietary fibre, calcium, and iron. This leafy green also contains powerful antioxidants, making it a healthy and beneficial addition to your diet.

Sow your organic seeds 1 cm deep in early spring or from June through to early July in rows 60 cm apart. Thin seedlings to 30 cm apart to give them plenty of room to grow strong. Kale is very cold-tolerant, and its best flavour develops after the fall frosts, so you can enjoy fresh kale well into autumn. Germination occurs in 10-15 days.

Embrace the wholesome goodness of this resilient organic kale. Its striking colours and exceptional winter hardiness make it a beautiful and dependable crop. The natural sweetness that develops with the cold weather makes this kale a true treat. By choosing this variety, you are cultivating a nutrient-rich and robust Heirloom that will provide you with a long-lasting and delicious harvest.
