Lacinato kale

Cool-season crop

‘Nero di Toscana’ is especially versatile; its bumpy gray green leaves are ornamental, extra hardy, and tasty in a variety of dishes (try pan-frying them in extra virgin olive oil with lemon and red chile flakes).

Eat thinning as plants fill in. Sun or light shade; all zones.
