Kale Dwarf Siberian originated in Russia and possesses blue-green, plume-like leaves with frilled edges. It is a compact plant, very hardy and prolific and able to withstand frosts. Has a sweet, mild flavour that is excellent both raw or cooked.
Kale is very easy to grow, and it is one of the least problematic and hardiest plants in the wide and varied Brassica tribe. It will tolerate poor soil conditions and is immune to most of the disease that trouble many Brassicas.
Although Kale can be planted at any time, its is better grown in the winter season through to spring as hot weather makes kale bitter. For the best results, choose an area with well-drained, loamy soil and select an area that will get full sun.
As a cut and come again crop you can start removing leaves when the plant is just 5cm high. The new leaves will continuously form. Avoid picking the terminal bud at the top center of the plant, as this will keep the plant productive.
