Description

Kale 'Black Kale' is an easy to grow and exceptionally tasty brassica which is popular with chefs for good reason. Expensive to buy, it is a high reward crop for little work. 'Black Kale' is extremely hardy, resistant to bolting and will cope with light shade. Unlike other brassicas, it is less prone to pests and diseases, although we recommend that you provide netting protection against birds. Its dark blue, wrinkled leaves add ornamental value to the veg garden and are a rich source of vitamins and minerals.

This incredibly versatile vegetable can be cut early as a baby salad leaf, steamed like cabbage, or used in soups, stir fries and pasta. Height: 75cm (30"). Spread: 50cm (20").

How to Grow
Grow kale in firm, rich fertile, well drained soil in sun or semi shade. Prepare the soil in early spring by adding plenty of well rotted farmyard manure to the soil to improve its structure and fertility. Apply lime to acid soils to reduce the acidity and lessen the risk of clubroot. When transplanting kale, plant it slightly deeper in the ground than it was in the tray provided. Plant kale at a distance of 60cm (24”) apart and cover with a protective netting or fleece to prevent attack from birds and insects. Water the plants thoroughly after planting.

For more information and guidance check out our Gardening Guides.

More Info
Kale is exceptionally hardy and requires little aftercare. Water when necessary and hoe between plants regularly to prevent weeds from establishing and bring insect larvae to the surface. Kale can be harvested from September as young leaves using a cut and come again method, but will stand well in the ground for a long time throughout winter, and improves in flavour after it has been frosted. Pinch out the centre stem first to encourage side shoots to develop. Harvest kale when it is required as the leaves do not store well, unless they are frozen.
