Planting & Care

Sow Lacinato Kale seeds indoors 4–6 weeks before the last frost, or direct sow outdoors as soon as the soil can be worked. Plant seeds ¼–½ inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7–14 days. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to allow for healthy growth.

Kale thrives in cool weather and benefits from regular watering and a layer of mulch to retain moisture. Harvest outer leaves when they reach usable size, leaving the central rosette to continue producing. Protect from extreme heat, which can cause bolting. With proper care, you can enjoy a prolonged harvest of tender, flavorful leaves.
