Kale Seeds for Planting: Curly, Lacinato, Red Russian, and Mixes

Kale is one of the toughest, most productive greens you can grow, and one of the few that gets sweeter when the weather turns cold. Our collection of kale seeds covers every major type: ruffled curly kales, dark and bumpy Lacinato, frilly Red and White Russian, colorful purple and blue-green varieties, and mixes that give you a bit of everything. Most are cold tolerant, half are container-friendly, and many are ready to pick as baby greens in about a month, so a small bed can feed you for months.

Kale Seed Varieties: Curly, Dinosaur, Russian, and Colorful Types

Blue Curled Scotch, Vates, and Premier are classic curly kales with deep green, ruffled leaves that hold up well in soups and sautés. Lacinato, sold here as Lacinato, Lacinato (Dinosaur), Black Magic, and Dazzling Blue, has long, dark, puckered leaves that stay tender in cooking and shine raw in salads. Red Russian and White Russian have flatter, frilly leaves with a mild, sweet flavor that makes them a favorite for eating raw. For color, Scarlet, Curly Roja, and Meadowlark bring purple and burgundy tones, and Feathered Frills adds an ornamental, ruffled look. Ironman and Kale-A-Bunga are mixes, a good option if you can't decide, and they give you a range of leaf shapes and colors from a single packet.

Growing Kale from Seed: Cool Weather Is the Goal

Kale grows best in cool weather, so plan around spring and fall. Direct sow four to six weeks before your last frost, or start seeds indoors four to six weeks before transplanting, and expect sprouts in about a week. For a fall crop, sow in late summer about eight to ten weeks before your first fall frost, since cold nights improve the flavor. Thin or space plants about a foot to eighteen inches apart for full-sized leaves, or sow thickly and cut young for baby greens in as little as 30 days. Most listings here show 46 to 60 days to maturity. The Seedtime garden planning software builds a planting calendar around your frost dates for both seasons, and the layout planner helps you tuck kale in among other cool-season crops.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my kale taste bitter or tough?

+

Heat and age are the usual causes. Kale grown through hot weather or left to get very large turns bitter and fibrous, while leaves that mature in cool weather are sweet and tender. Harvest regularly, pick medium-sized leaves rather than the biggest, and keep the soil evenly moist. If a hot spell has made a batch harsh, wait for cooler nights and the plants will often sweeten up again.

How do I harvest kale so the plant keeps producing?

+

Pick the outer, lower leaves first and leave the central growing point intact. Take a few leaves from each plant at a time, snapping or cutting them near the stem, and new growth will keep coming from the center for months. Avoid stripping a plant bare, since it needs some leaf surface to keep growing.

What is chewing holes in my kale?

+

Cabbage worms and aphids are the usual suspects. Cabbage worms are small green caterpillars that leave ragged holes, and aphids cluster on the undersides of leaves. Lightweight row cover keeps the butterflies that lay the eggs away, caterpillars can be picked by hand, and a strong spray of water knocks aphids off. Check the undersides of leaves weekly, since problems are easiest to fix early.
