The Best of Kale in One Blend — A Gourmet Mix of Heirloom Varieties

Why grow one type of kale when you can grow them all? The Botanical Interests Kale Premier Blend brings together a curated selection of the finest heirloom kale varieties in a single packet — curly, lacinato, red, and more — each with its own distinct texture, color, and flavor. The result is a harvest that's as beautiful as it is delicious, and a garden bed that looks like it belongs on the cover of a seed catalog. This is the kale blend for gardeners who refuse to settle for ordinary.

Kale (Brassica oleracea) is one of the most nutritious and versatile vegetables you can grow, and a blend of varieties gives you the full spectrum of what this remarkable plant has to offer — from the tender, deeply savory leaves of Lacinato (Dinosaur) kale to the ruffled, frost-sweetened curls of classic Blue Curled, to the striking purple-red tones of Red Russian.

Growing Tips

Start seeds indoors 4–6 weeks before the last frost, or direct sow outdoors in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest. Transplant or thin to 12–18 inches apart in a sunny to partially shaded spot with fertile, well-drained soil. Water consistently and apply a nitrogen-rich fertilizer to encourage lush, productive growth. Harvest outer leaves when they reach 6–8 inches, leaving the central growing point intact. For the sweetest, most complex flavor, harvest after the first autumn frost. Most kale varieties will overwinter in zones 7+ and continue producing into early spring.
