(aka Lacinato, Dinosaur) (65 days) 18th C. You have to see this kale to believe it. William Woys Weaver calls it "truly one of the most beautiful kales to grace any kitchen garden." Growing to 3' and shaped like a palm tree, it produces long, narrow, dark blue-black leaves with a savoyed texture and great taste. Tolerates both heat and cold. Highly nutritious and is prepared like chard.

(50 – 65 days). Slow to bolt, and extremely hardy, this kale tastes best after frost! Grows only 12” tall, with finely curled blue-green leaves. Very attractive.

(Aka Ragged Jack) I would grow this Kale in my garden purely as an ornamental, even if it wasn’t so delicious! It entered North America by coming to Canada with Russian traders. From before 1863, this unusual strain has blue-green leaves with red-purple veining and stems. Freezes well; wonderful for salads, steaming and stir-frying. (approx. 7500 seeds/oz.)

(70 days) True Siberian Kale is extremely cold-hardy and can be wintered over in some areas. Huge, ruffled, blue-green leaves are eye-catching in the garden and very flavourful. This kale has flourished for us in drought and wet conditions, in cool temperatures and in heat. Frost improves the flavor and texture of the leaves.(approx. 7500 seeds/oz.)
