Description

“Vigorous and sweet, this kale produces over a long season. Mild flavored leaves becomes frilly as the plant matures, making it easy to cut even mature leaves for salads. Tender and tasty raw or cooked. Foliage stands well into the winter. Siber Frill kale was selected at Lupine Knoll Farm, choosing for the frilled leaves, from a mix of B. Napus kales provided by Tim Peters, Peters Seed and Research, in 2000-2002.”
