Sowing Instructions

For salad leaves, sow thinly. Thin seedlings when large enough to handle to 30cm (12in) apart.

For mature Kale, Sow seeds into individual pots or a seed tray of a proprietary compost and cover with 6mm (¼in) of compost or vermiculite, at a minimum of 15C ( 60F), until germination which takes around 7 days. Alternatively, can be sown thinly in a prepared seedbed 13mm (½in) deep, allowing 30cm (12in) between rows.

Growing Instructions

For mature Kale transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into larger pots, or transplant from the seedbed around 5 weeks from sowing, allowing 60cm (24in) each way.

Kitchen Notes

Can also be grown as a baby salad leaf ingredient adding texture and a peppery taste to mixed salads.
