Dazzling Blue Lacinato Kale

60 days. As gorgeous as Tuscan Lacinato Kale is, tasty and tender Dazzling Blue kicks it up yet another notch with striking powder-blue-green leaves with lavender-pink midribs. It’s even more vigorous and cold-hardy, too, lasting through the winter in milder climates. As temperatures drop, the colors intensify, and the leaves may turn a smoky purple. Dazzling, indeed! (OP.)

One packet of about 220 seeds

  • Information
  • The cornerstone of traditional Southern cooking and kitchen gardens, these leafy green vegetables include Mustard Greens, Collard Greens, Kale and Turnip Greens. Customarily simmered for hours with salt pork or ham hocks, the best way to preserve their wonderful flavors, textures and color is to quickly braise or saute them in olive oil and Garlic. Most Southern Greens prefer cool weather, although Collard Greens are wonderfully tolerant of summer heat. Direct sow Collard, Mustard and Turnip Greens outdoors in the early spring as soon as the soil can be worked and in the late summer for fall harvest.

    Average seed life: 4 years.
