Halbhoher Gruner Krauser Kale
100 Seeds
Halbhoher Gruner Krauser is a German variety that produces tender frilled leaves with a delicately sweet flavor. Although we have been gardening for quite some time, it took me a while to get on the kale bandwagon. It seemed that all of the varieties I tried were either too tough or too bitter, and then I found this one. Yes, it has a nearly unpronounceable name, which makes it difficult to spread the word about this awesome variety, but I promise it is well-worth the trouble. As I write, it is January and I've just harvested the last of my Halbhoher Gruner Krauser from last summer. At last harvest, the plants were roughly three feet tall and had weathered over two weeks of well below freezing weather, without protection. What a treat to be eating fresh, homegrown vegetables in January...in Iowa. 50-60 days to harvest. 100 seeds per packet.
