Dwarf Blue Curled Scotch Vates Kale Seeds 750 Heirloom Seeds Per Packet Non GMO Seeds

Brassica oleracea var. Sabellica "Dwarf Blue Curled Scotch" Introduced in the 1950's, this kale variety is now the most commonly grown type. It produces dense, frilly, curled bluish-green leaves. Plants stay between 12-16” tall and are cold and heat hardy. Excellent as a fall crop and has high yields. Type: Annual Sun: Full Planting Depth: 1/4” Spacing: 15-18” Water: Moderate Days to Maturity/Bloom: 55-65 days Height: 12-15” Zones: 3-12 Since kale thrives in cool weather and sweetens with frost, it grows best as a fall crop. For an earlier crop in areas with a cool summer, sow the seeds in early spring; plant three seeds in a cluster, 1/2" deep and 16-18" apart in rows 2-3' apart. Thin the clusters to the strongest plant when the seedlings emerge. Kale appreciate very rich, moist soil that drains well, since they taste best when allowed to grow quickly. For a fall crop, plant the seeds in the same way about three months before the first expected frost. For companion planting benefits, plant kale with cabbage or potatoes.
