How cold hardy is Dwarf Siberian kale?
Very. It is among the toughest kales, shrugging off frost and even turning sweeter after a chill, so it keeps producing into cold weather.
When and how do I plant kale seeds?
Sow directly or start indoors, about a quarter to half an inch deep. Kale germinates quickly, in about 5 to 10 days, and grows best in the cool weather of spring and fall.
How much sun and space does kale need?
Grow it in full sun to part shade, and space plants about 12 to 18 inches apart. This dwarf variety stays compact and suits containers.
How do I harvest kale so it keeps producing?
Pick the outer leaves and always leave the central crown to keep growing. This cut-and-come-again method gives you fresh greens for months.
Does frost affect the flavor?
Yes, in a good way. A fall frost makes the leaves noticeably sweeter and more tender.
How do I use kale?
Use tender young leaves raw in salads and smoothies, and mature leaves in soups, stir-fries, sautes, and baked kale chips.
