This weird and wonderful-looking form of Kale is a very old favourite. The leaves are so dark, and the structure so striking, that some people call it “black palm” kale. If you’re tempted to try it in your ornamental garden, go ahead, it will certainly add a touch of style with its unusual appearance. Of course, you’ll also be picking it to eat. It tastes at its best and sweetest once it has had a touch of frost. Add it to soups and stews as the Italians do.

How to Sow
Kale germinates very easily and is best sown where it will grow. Water well when you water, and then leave until the surface begins to dry. After germination, you can reduce watering.
How to Harvest
You can start picking your greens from about 60 days after sowing. Simply select and cut the leaves you need.
