(Brassica oleracea, Acephala Group)
Approx. 9,000 seeds/oz. Pkt plants 30' of row; ¼ oz sows
100'. Direct sow 2-4 lbs/acre. Sow seeds ½" deep, 18-24"
apart in rows 24-36" apart. Seeds germ in about 10 days.

3028U Black Magic 25 days baby leaf, 60 days mature
leaf. Upright rosette habit for easy, clean harvest.
Improved winter hardiness. Long narrow dark bluegreen
leaves with white spine on lower surface. Leaf
is intensely blistered and crinkled for a wonderful
eating texture. Cold resistant and bolt tolerant. This
is improved breeding of the heirloom “Cavolo Nero”
type. Fresh Mkt, Specialty Restaurant.
3032 Blue Armor (Winterbor) F1 47-57 days. Outstanding
F1 Vates type. Attractive, very deep blue-green
leaves are extremely curled and fringed; wide petiole
spacing makes harvest easier. High yield potential
on strong growing, uniform plants. May be
suitable for over-wintering.
3037 Blue Knight (Darkibor) F1 45-55 days. Outstanding
Vates hybrid type replaces plantings
of standard vates. Earlier, stronger, more
uniform and higher yields. Deep blue, firm, curly
leaves have less tendency to yellow and hold up
well when cut. Uniform, strong grower. Yields 7-8"
stalks in just 45 days; larger plants in 55 days. Will
out yield OP types by 50%. Spring or Fall planting.
3070U Casper 30-35 days baby leaf, 50-55 days full
leaf. Sweetest tasting Kale in British trials. Deep
green with frilly edges and broadly colored white

3045U Lacinato 50-60 days. Unique heirloom type.
Strap-like blue-green leaves 10" x 3". Deeply savoyed
and crinkled. Edible ornamental; flavor is
enhanced by frost. Extremely winter hardy. Sometimes
called "dinosaur kale". Fresh Mkt, Specialty.
3051 Prizm F1 50-60 days. Densely branching plants
sufficiently compact for container cultivation
but also adapted to open ground. Short,
tightly ruffled foliage is clean green, tightly ruffled,
and tender. Flavor unusually mild with nutty overtones.
Aggressive re-leafing after cut, for early and
prolonged harvest. Keeps mild flavor throughout
growing season. Less likely to lodge because of low
profile. Fresh Mkt, Garden Ctr Sales, Restaurant.

to Blue Armor except for color. Tall standing habit,
overwinters well, bolt tolerant, deeply fringed and
