Dazzling Blue Lacinato Kale CherryGal Organic Non-GMO Heirloom Seeds 2025

DAZZLING BLUE KALE is must for your Fall/Winter garden, but can also be grown in spring for baby size. Developed by Hank Keogh of Avoca Seed Farm in Oregon, who worked as a farmer for years with Frank Morton of Wild Garden Seeds and collaborated with Frank to produce this jewel it is tender enough to use in salads and beautiful to behold. The emerald green to dark blue deeply lobed, frilly leaves are tinged with lavender to magenta (colors are dependent on weather), so they are fabulous in stir fries as well. Holds well over the winter. 65 days to full grown 24" - 30" size. 50 seeds.

GROWING TIPS: Kale likes a rich, sweet soil, with pH of 6-7 and a sunny position. Flavor is best if it grows quickly. Thrives in cool weather and is improved by cold weather. Plant out as soon as ground can be worked. It is very frost tolerant. Sow 1/4" - 1/2" deep, 1" apart in rows 18-30" apart. Thin to 8-12" apart. Provide even moisture. As soon as it is 6" high, you can begin harvesting lower leaves. Or wait until the plant is mature and harvest entirely, preferably after a frost has touched it. OR, leave one plant in place to mature to seed stage in Spring.
