500 Seeds Lacinato Kale Black Tuscan Dinosaur Kale Heirloom Vegetable Garden

Lacinato Kale, also known as Black Tuscan or Dinosaur Kale, is a striking heirloom variety prized for its deeply savoyed, dark blue-green leaves that add bold texture and color to the garden. This cool-season favorite is a reliable producer that can be grown in spring and fall, offering a steady harvest of tender, flavorful leaves.

The elongated, crinkled leaves are excellent for fresh use in salads when young, and hold up beautifully when cooked in soups, stews, and sauteed dishes. Plants grow upright and are well suited to raised beds, containers, and traditional garden rows, providing a productive and ornamental addition to any vegetable patch.
