Hardy, Flavorful Greens for Year-Round Harvests
Kale Dwarf Green Curled is a classic, frost-tolerant variety celebrated for its tightly curled, deep green leaves and robust, delicious flavor. Maturing in just 50 days, this compact kale is a staple for home gardeners seeking a reliable, nutrient-rich green that thrives from early spring through winter. Its cold-hardiness allows for harvests well into the colder months, making it a favorite for those looking to extend their fresh food season.
This versatile kale is perfect for salads, sautés, soups, and smoothies. The tightly curled leaves not only look attractive in the garden but also provide a tender texture and rich, earthy taste that sweetens after a frost. Dwarf Green Curled kale is packed with vitamins and minerals, making it a nutritious choice for health-conscious cooks. Its compact growth habit is ideal for small gardens, containers, and raised beds, and the plant’s resilience ensures consistent yields even in challenging weather.
Growing Dwarf Green Curled kale is straightforward and rewarding. Plants reach about 18 inches in height and should be spaced 12 inches apart for optimal airflow and leaf production. Sow seeds directly in well-prepared soil or start indoors and transplant after the danger of frost has passed. Harvest leaves as needed, starting with the outermost, and the plant will continue to produce new growth throughout the season. With proper care, you can enjoy fresh kale from late spring until well after the first frost.
Growing Success Tips:
- Plant in full sun for best leaf color and yield, but tolerates partial shade.
- Keep soil consistently moist and rich in organic matter.
- Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
- Harvest outer leaves regularly to encourage continuous new growth.
Kale Dwarf Green Curled offers outstanding value with its cold tolerance, compact size, and delicious, nutrient-packed leaves. It’s an excellent choice for gardeners of all experience levels who want a reliable, easy-to-grow green. For the sweetest flavor, harvest leaves after a light frost.
