DamavandPro Curly Kale Nero di Toscana Seeds

DamavandPro Nero di Toscana Curly Kale Seeds produce an Italian variety of curly kale, also known as Black or Russian Kale, valued for its distinctive dark blue-green leaves and a robust flavour reminiscent of broccoli. With long, tight, heavily blistered foliage and half-tall growth reaching 40-80 cm in height, it makes a characterful addition to the vegetable garden and is well suited to cooler-season growing.

This open-pollinated variety is frost hardy and winter-tolerant, with harvesting running from October through winter. Pick young leaves to encourage new shoot growth, making it a practical choice for overwintering and spring cropping when other vegetables are scarce.
