A space where it can thrive
Grow as a cultivated garden crop in a bed or suitably sized container. The illustrated nursery pot is a presentation, not a recommendation for the mature plant’s root space.
Ask about availabilityAvailability, size, pot and price will be confirmed in store. Pictures illustrate the plant type.

Your care routine
Watering
Keep moisture consistent to produce tender leaves.
Soil & drainage
Fertile, well-drained soil in a cool growing period.
Temperature
Plan sowing for the crop’s preferred season. Protect young plants and containers from severe frost; local conditions affect timing.
Planting
Direct sow in small batches, thinning for mature leaves or sowing more closely for baby greens.
Harvest
Pick young outer leaves while retaining the growing centre.
Through the seasons
Heat and long days can prompt flowering. Spring and autumn crops are generally easier than midsummer leaf production.
When your plant needs help
- This is Brassica carinata rather than common kale; pick young leaves and retain the centre for more growth.
Pets & little ones
