Kale 'Lacinato'

Lacinato kale is shockingly expensive at our local grocery store. Yet it's so easy to grow in the garden. The long, narrow leaves are heavily textured and feature a gorgeous, deep blue-green color. It has a distinctive yet mild flavor we enjoy.

Italian heirloom. Also known as Dinosaur Kale.​

Sowing Kale Seeds

Sow kale seeds outdoors in late spring to summer, 1/4" deep. Or start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date, and transplant 3 weeks before the last frost date. Spacing 12". Full sun to part shade.
