Cavolo Nero Black Kale – Nero di Toscano (Autumn)

A popular kale plant for autumn growing

This Italian kale has beautiful dark green leaves and looks really striking in the vegetable patch when it’s fully grown. In fact, many people choose to plant it in borders for exactly that reason. It’s easy to grow (easier than many other brassicas) and will provide you with leaves for several months, right into spring. You’ll find it grows slowly over the coldest months, but you should be able to enjoy a crop from late November onwards, depending on the weather. You’ll receive a complete growing guide with the plug plants when they arrive.

Variety: Nero di Toscana (organic*)

In the kitchen: Add kale to stews, steam it, or fry it up with a little garlic butter.
