Lacinato Kale (Brassica oleracea) A primitive looking heirloom vegetable dating back to the 1700’s with origins from the Tuscany region of the Mediterranean. Also known as Dinosaur Kale or Black Magic, the long, dark, crinkly blue-green leaves radiate from the central stem forming a very attractive ornamental vegetable for your garden. Plants grow to a height of 2-3’ and provide greens as early as 3-4 weeks.

Planting Instructions: Start seeds indoors 4–6 weeks before last frost or direct sow as soon as the soil can be worked. Sow seeds ½ cm (¼ in) deep. Thin seedlings to 30–45 cm (12–18 in) apart, with rows spaced 45–60 cm (18–24 in). Kale prefers full sun and rich, well-drained soil. Keep soil evenly moist throughout the growing season. Harvest outer leaves as needed. Leaves are sweetest after a light frost.
