Kale – Siberian organic

Kale Siberian organic

Kale Siberian organic. Siberian kale has huge blue-green, feather-shaped, slightly curled leaves on 12-16 inch rapidly growing non- heading plants and is probably the toughest variety available for with-standing the harshest winters. The first frost improves the tenderness and flavour and can then be harvested throughout the winter.
