Dinosaur kale, also known as Lacinato kale, Tuscan kale, black kale, and cavolo nero, is a leafy member of the cabbage family. It has long, palm-like fronds that can grow up to 3 feet long. It originated in the Tuscany region of Italy in the 1700s and is truly a superfood with a tangy, sweet, full flavor.
Plant with vining beans, peas, or cucumbers, which protect them from the summer heat. Strawberries and roots like onions, radishes, carrots, and beets are friendly companions to leafy greens. Mix lots of flowers and herbs in the bed to ward off insects and attract beneficial ones. Most herbs work well with and compliment leafy greens.
Starter will be in a 4" reusable nursery pot.
