Description
Lacinato, also known as dinosaur or Tuscan kale, has been a culinary treasure in Italy’s Tuscany region since the 18th century. Its strap-like, blistered, dark green leaves can grow to 24″ and are known for their rich, earthy flavor. Hardy and easy to grow.
Plant in rich, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade in early spring, or midsummer for a fall crop. Start indoors six weeks before last spring frost date and transplant two weeks before last frost. Water consistently. Cut outer leaves from bottom of plant as needed.
