How to Grow
How
Raise in trays of Yates Seed Raising Mix or sow direct where they are to grow. Cover with mix, firm down and keep moist. Transplant after 4-6 weeks.
Care
Grow in sun or semi-shade. Enrich soil with organic fertiliser (such as Yates Blood & Bone or Dynamic Lifter) before planting. Feed plants regularly with Yates Thrive Soluble Plant food. Continuous harvest promotes new growth. Protect plants from snails and slugs with Yates Blitzem.
Hint
Leaves will be darker when temperatures are cooler. Control leaf-eating grubs with a Yates caterpillar killer (Success or Dipel) or a Yates Vegetable Dust (Derris).
Thriving in the cooler months, Yates Kale Tuscan Seeds produce a versatile and nutritious green that enhances both gardens and meals. This traditional favourite is valued for its deep green, textured leaves, which not only provide a rich source of vitamins but also add an ornamental touch to garden beds. With a mild flavour, the tender baby leaves can be harvested just seven weeks after planting, making them ideal for fresh salads, stir-fries, or steaming. As the plant matures, the leaves develop a heartier texture, perfect for soups and slow-cooked dishes.
Beyond its culinary appeal, this kale variety is a stunning addition to any garden, offering year-round visual interest with its distinctive foliage. Hardy and easy to grow, it thrives in a range of climates and is an excellent choice for home gardeners looking to enjoy both beauty and flavour from a single plant. Whether used as an edible feature or a decorative border, this cool-season crop is a must-have for those who appreciate fresh, homegrown produce.
