WEST COAST SEEDS KALE RAINBOW LACINATO ORGANIC

Rainbow Lacinato Organic Kale Seeds are CERTIFIED ORGANIC!

A fabulous cross of beloved Lacinato with the super cold hardy Redbor produces these multicoloured plants with mostly the strap-like leaves of the Lacinato and the colouring of the Redbor.

It is slower to bolt and more productive than Lacinato.

Gathered in bunches, you will get some with blue green leaves, some purple leaves, some curly edges, some with red veins – enjoy cooking this colourful bouquet all winter long.

Matures in 65 days.(Open-pollinated seeds)

Growing Kale from Seed

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.

Kale and collards can both be grown as a cut and come again crop for salad mixes by direct-seeding and cutting baby leaves. They will re-grow if you pick leaves from the bottom up, as you need them. Continue harvesting lower leaves as they mature-plants will keep producing all season.

Kale can overwinter in many areas. In fact, the leaves get sweeter after frost, though growth will slow. In spring, the surviving plants start to flower.

Companion Planting For Kale

All Brassicas benefit from chamomile, dill, mint, rosemary, and sage.

Avoid planting near eggplants, peppers, potatoes, or tomatoes, as the acidic soil these plants thrive in can cause problems for Brassicas.
