Dwarf Blue Curled Heirloom Kale
Growing Dwarf Blue Curled Heirloom Kale
‘Dwarf Blue Curled’ is an heirloom kale prized for its tightly curled blue-green foliage, sweet flavor, and compact growth. Slow-bolting plants produce tender, succulent leaves whose flavor becomes even sweeter after exposure to frost.
Start ‘Dwarf Blue Curled’ indoors for transplanting or sow directly where conditions allow. Plant seeds about ½ inch deep and space plants 12 to 18 inches apart. Grow in full sun. This cold-tolerant variety is well suited to containers and smaller gardens.
Ready to harvest in about 56 days, pick leaves at the size you prefer, harvesting younger growth for the most tender texture. Established plants can provide repeated harvests throughout the cool season.
Sweet, tender, and versatile, ‘Dwarf Blue Curled’ is excellent for fresh eating, salads, sautéing, soups, and everyday cooking.
