Planting & Care
Sow Dwarf Blue Curled Scotch Kale seeds directly in the garden or start them indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep in prepared soil, and keep the area evenly moist until germination. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to allow good air circulation and healthy growth. Kale thrives in cooler temperatures and can be planted in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest.
Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during dry spells. Mulching around plants helps retain moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest outer leaves as needed, leaving the center rosette to continue producing. With minimal care, this variety can provide a steady supply of fresh greens throughout the growing season.
