Due to the enormous popularity of Palm Cabbage (Lacinato Kale) and Kale in the US, growers are busy cultivating new varieties. This beautiful result from Hank Keogh (Oregon) was created by crosses with Lacinato Kale and wins the top prize for its color, taste, and frost resistance. The veins are rosy red and the leaf color varies from blue-green to deep purple, the taste is excellent, and the plants effortlessly survive a harsh winter. Growth in early spring also yields substantial leaves (before they flower), a remarkable improvement on the current assortment!
