I've tried other varieties of kale but this is my absolute favorite. It starts early and continues well into fall. Always tender and tasty.

After starting this from seed and planting in my garden this spring, the plant is definitely not Dwarf Blue Curled Kale. It looks like some kind of kale, possibly Premier. Disappointed that the packet was mislabeled.

Planted and depended on 'Botanical Interests'; ie. reliable Dwarf Blue Kale in my greenhouse, and it turned out to be an unwanted unidentified variety of Kale. If I could give less than one star I certainly would.
