Planting Instructions
How to Grow Blue Curled Scotch Kale
When to Plant Kale Seeds
Kale can be planted at any time, from early spring to early summer. Be mindful, as hot weather makes kale bitter. If planted late in the summer, you can harvest it from fall until the ground freezes.
Where to Plant Kale Seeds
For best results, choose an area with well-drained, loamy soil. If planting in cool season, select an area that will get full sun. Choose partial shade if growing in the warm season.
How to Plant Kale Seeds
Plant ¼ to ½ inch deep in your garden. Seeds will sprout best in soil around 70 degrees F. After 2 weeks, thin seedlings so they are spaced 8 to 12 inches apart. Water the plants regularly, but take care not to over water. Mulch the soil heavily after first freeze. The plants can sometimes produce leaves throughout the winter.
How to Harvest Kale
Kale is ready to harvest when the leaves are about the size of your hands. Avoid picking the terminal bud at the top center of the plant, as this will keep the plant productive. Only pick about a fistful of leaves per harvest. Kale grows until it’s about 20 degrees F - a touch of frost actually sweetens the flavor.

Our First Choiced for late season feeding
These seeds germinated very well and the plants were large and healthy right into out winter season.
For us, it's a late season crop for your free-ranging chickens and had a powerful impact on late season egg nutrition.
Win win... we love it and the chickens clean up the garden when the cold returns.
Back to buy more. Five Stars

Kick butt plants1
No, Eden Bros didn't pay me to write this ad but I did have 4 lightly harvested kale plants overwinter in my garden (zone 5b) for 3 years! Unbelievable!

Great eating
Easy to grow and has the best flavor when compared to other types of kale. My 6 year old grandson eats it in the garden like a bunny.

Kale in nc
Awesome germination and early growth. Shipping was fast as it was important. Ran them thru a mechanical planter and the kale has had no problems with bugs or flood conditions that we've had here.
