Kale - Unicorn (150 seeds)

Kale - Unicorn

Brassica oleracea

Kale Unicorn is a striking and distinctive curly kale variety producing vivid green leaves with bright purple stems and attractively curled leaf margins. The crunchy, succulent texture and excellent flavour make it as enjoyable to eat as it is to look at, and the bold colour contrast of deep green leaves against vivid purple stems brings real visual appeal to the garden and the plate alike. Compact and highly uniform in habit, it is well suited to both home gardens and container growing.

Versatile and fast growing, Unicorn can be harvested young as baby leaves from 32 days or grown on to full size heads at 60 days. An excellent choice for salads, stir-fries, steaming, and smoothies. Note that Unicorn is less cold hardy than most other kale varieties and performs best through the warmer growing months.
