Kale Lacinato Dinosaur - Cornucopia Seeds
Brassica oleracea var. sabellica
Handsome heirloom known for its blue-green crinkled leaves, tender texture and sweet flavor. Delicious in salads, for sauteed greens, soups, or braised with garlic and olive oil. Kale's flavor is best in cool weather; mature plants handle frost well for extended harvesting.
| Light | Full sun |
| Row spacing | 18 inches |
| Plant spacing | 12 inches |
| Planting depth | 1/2 inch |
| Days to germination | 7-10 |
| Plant height | 2.5 - 3 feet |
Gardener's Notes: In early spring, sow directly in the garden in well worked, fertile soil. Space seeds 2 inches apart and 1/2 inch deep, with rows 18 inches apart. Keep soil evenly moist. When seedlings are 2-3 inches tall, thin to 1 foot apart so plants have room to grow and mature. Mulch well to retain moisture. When plants have 6 to 8 leaves, begin harvesting outer leaves at plant base. Sow again in late summer for another cold-hardy, tender-sweet crop.
