Kale Dwarf Green Curled Seeds

• Try growing alongside nasturtiums to keep Cabbage white butterflies away from your crop, and with mint to repel beetles and other insect pests.
• When harvesting, cut with a clean, sharp knife to avoid introducing disease or encouraging rot.

How to grow Kale

• Sow outdoors thinly in a seed bed, 1.5cm (½in) deep, directly into finely prepared soil that has already been watered. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Water well until plants are established. When seedlings are about 10cm (4in) tall, transplant into rows 45cm (18in) apart in moist but well-drained soil. Plant firmly and water well.
• Or sow indoors 0.5cm (¼in) deep, in a tray of compost. Water well and place in a cold frame or unheated greenhouse. Keep moist. Transplant 5cm (2in) apart to other trays when large enough to handle. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions before planting out.
• Harvest Pick a few leaves from each plant as required from when the plants are just 5cm (2in) tall; this will encourage new growth as long as you don’t cut the middle of the plant. The crown of the plant can be cut in December to encourage side shoots.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.
