Description

Premier Kale is an early-maturing, smooth-leaf variety valued for its tender texture and mild, sweet flavor. Its bright green, slightly crinkled leaves are less curly than traditional kales, making them easy to harvest and ideal for fresh salads, bunching, and cooking.

This fast-growing and cold-hardy variety performs well in a wide range of conditions and is especially prized for its quick harvest window and uniform growth. It is a reliable choice for both home gardeners and market growers seeking early and consistent yields.

• Type: Open-pollinated biennial (grown as an annual)
• Direct sow: Early spring or mid-summer for fall harvest
• Sun: Full sun to partial shade
• Spacing: 12–18 inches
• Height: 15–24 inches
• Days to harvest: 45–55 days

Kale thrives in cool weather and fertile, well-drained soil. Sow seeds directly or transplant starts, and keep soil consistently moist for best growth. Harvest outer leaves regularly to encourage continuous production. Flavor improves with cooler temperatures and light frost exposure.
