This is a Russian variety of kale that produces frilled leaves and is obviously cold hardy. Very productive, each plant can produce for well over a year, in between attacks from the white cabbage moth and its caterpillars. 

When to Plant
Zone 1: September - April
Zone 2: August - May
Zone 3: March - July
Zone 4: May - July

Soil Ensure your soil is nutrient rich so prepare it with fresh manure and compost a fortnight before planting. Integrate good levels of organic matter to increase its water holding ability.

Soil pH Level 6.5-7.0

Position Full sun but will benefit from shading in warm weather.

How to Plant Soak seeds in water overnight prior to planting and then sow directly into your patch at a depth of about 1cm. Thin out once they have germinated, which should take 7-10 days.

Spacing 30 - 40cm

Approximate no. of seeds  50-60

Note: Little Veggie Patch Co source all of our seeds locally and in small batches to ensure they remain at their maximum viability for germination
