The first of its kind, this cross of kale and collards offers the best of both worlds! Sweet Kita Kallard™ features distinctive serrated leaves, unlike those of traditional kale and collards, that are perfect for eating or as an ornamental plant. Leaves measure 18–24 inches long by 10–12 inches wide, and the plant grows to about 24 inches tall and 30 inches wide. Raw leaves have a strong collard aftertaste. The long stems make it excellent for bunching, while its zesty flavor and smooth leaves enhance any meal. Plants are cold tolerant with phenomenal vigor for nearly year-round production. 45-50 days.
Care: Plant 20-30″ apart in rows 24-36″ apart in full sun, cool moist soil.
