An heirloom variety dating back to the 1860s, known for its exceptional cold hardiness and nutritional qualities.

How to Grow:
Direct sow 1 cm deep in early spring or between June and early July, in rows 60 cm apart. Thin to 30 cm once germinated (7 to 10 days). Kale thrives in rich, well-drained soils, developing its best flavour after the first autumn frosts.
A versatile and robust variety, ideal for small gardens or as a nutrient solution against the cold.
