Kale

Kale

Tuscan Black Kale is the most elegant of the cabbage family, looking like a miniature palm tree with quilted elephant grey leaves. It also contains one of the highest levels of immune boosting antioxidants, with leaves that can be individually harvested to extend your season. 

Beautiful and edible, kale can easily be integrated into ornamental plantings making a beautiful edible sculpture in a potager or parterre. The easiest and most heat tolerant brassica to grow, pick the young leaves from the top of the ‘tree’, as these are the most tender, and use just like cabbage. They are also excellent with olive oil and shallots. Grow during the cooler months to avoid Cabbage White Butterflies.
