Dwarf Green Curled
Dwarf Green Curled
Dwarf Green Curled kale seeds is an heirloom Scottish kale dating back to 1865, originally known as Dwarf Curlies. Plants are very compact, growing to only 30-45cm (12-18") tall, but with delicate, succulent, tightly curled leaves. This wonderful kale is easy to grow, and quite useful for containers given its compact size. Try some on the balcony, or direct in your organic kale patch. This cold hardy kale is a good pick for summer planting for fall and winter harvest, but it will also produce well in summer from early spring plantings. Maturity is from direct sowing.
