This rare kale goes to seed in its first year-- great for seed savers & seed sharers! Plant in spring and again in early fall for a late fall harvest to enjoy tender, fresh leaves. Leaves are smooth, tender and mild! Sautéing or cooking the kale brings out its sweetness. This variety was given by Irene Kemper to Seed Savers Exchange, whose German great grandparents brought the seeds to the US when they emigrated. Try out this wonderful rare variety and share the seeds to increase the seed diversity in your area!
