Medusa is one of the prettiest kales available with its dark green, heavily frilled leaves and contrasting bright purple stems and veins. Plants are tall and vigorous, and the stems are long and sturdy for easy harvesting and bunching. The thick waxy leaves hold up well on the plants and after harvesting. Excellent cold tolerance for harvesting through the fall. Plants grow 60-80cm (24-32") tall.

Approx. 50 seeds

Direct sow in early spring to mid-summer for summer to winter harvests. Or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost, and transplant out as soon as the soil warms up. Optimal soil temperature: 10-30°C (50-85°F). Seeds should germinate in 7-10 days.

Sow 3-4 seeds 5mm (¼”) deep in each spot you where a plant is to grow. Thin to the strongest plant. Space 45-60cm (18-24″) apart in rows 75-90cm (30-36″) apart.
