Description
Massive, tender, and ruffly leaves on juicy green stems. True Siberian Kale is our most vigorous by far and a favorite of farmer friends in the Puget Sound AND Midwest! Great year round, but exceptional over-wintered for its impressive early-season leaf and raab production. Apparently flood tolerant, as we produced a hearty seed crop from plants that sat in standing water all winter long. Props to Adaptive Seeds for introducing us to this gem.
Days to Maturity: 25 to baby, 60 to full size
Latin name: Brassica napus
Life cycle for Seed Saving: Biennial

All of our seed is Non-GMO and Certified Organic by Washington State Department of Agriculture.

Finally, all of our offerings are open-pollinated (OP) so that you too can save and share seed from these plants!
