cBrassica oleracea
Be dazzled by the striking colors of this extra-cold-hardy kale, more cold tolerant than other lacinato types. The striking purple midrib pops against the blue-green leaves, some of which may take on more purple hues in the cool temperatures of fall. Lacinato kale is ideal for kale salads and other fresh culinary endeavors. Plants grow up to 24″-48″ tall and about 12″-24″ wide. Botanical Interests’® Dazzling Blue Kale Seeds are USDA Organic and have been verified by The Non-GMO Project.
