HOW TO GROW SIBERIAN KALE
Start indoors 4-6 weeks before last frost, plant out 4 weeks before frost. For fall harvest, transplant 13 weeks before first frost, without additional protection. In a hoophouse, you can plant 2-3 weeks later. Plants are hardy when small but may not feed you until spring. Direct sow anytime after last frost up to 6 weeks before first frost. For seed production, plant in late summer in the Pacific Northwest and coastal British Columbia for a more cold hardy plant. Becomes sweeter with frost and edible to about 22–25˚F. Survival at low temps 10˚F or cooler requires good mulch or snow cover to protect from wind freeze. Will cross with rutabagas. Row covers reduce cabbage worms and extend winter harvest. Soil pH 6.1-6.5. Hardiness zones 3-9. Biennial.

Extra early fast growing Siberian kale with large, smooth leaves. It resembles curly collar leaves with slightly scalloped edges. They are not as curly as kale, however. The leaves form a rosette and are usually smooth like the collard rather than hairy like the turnip. The stems vary from purple to white. Although it is sometimes compared in growth to turnip, it does not form a fleshy root. Vigorous plants are adapted for cooler climates. Used fresh in salads, has a strong pleasant flavor, mild when steamed. Harvest leaves when small and tender. Best for early spring before other varieties mature. Also known as Early Hanover, Spring kale and Premier kale. Tags: Type: Siberian, Harvest: Early, Color: Green, Specialty: Bolt Resistant, Heritage: Heirloom, Season: Spring Fall Winter.
