Kale Dwarf Blue Scotch

Kale Dwarf Blue Scotch is a dependable heirloom variety that brings both visual appeal and impressive nutrition to your garden.

Easy to grow

Known for its deeply curled, blue-green leaves and compact growth habit, this kale is perfect for small spaces, raised beds, and container gardens. It thrives in cooler temperatures and becomes even sweeter after a touch of frost – it improves the flavour, making the leaves sweeter and more tender..

This hardy leafy green is a biennial grown as an annual and can be harvested continuously over a long season. The low-growing, dense plants form a rosette of attractive, frilled leaves that are tender and flavourful, especially when young. Its compact size makes it an ideal choice for gardeners with limited space or those looking to tuck nutrient rich greens between other crops.

This variety tolerates cold weather well and is ideal for winter gardens.  Harvest by picking the outer leaves first, allowing the inner leaves to continue growing for a longer yield. With proper care, one planting can supply fresh kale for several months.

Versatile

Kale Dwarf Blue Scotch is incredibly versatile in the kitchen. It can be used raw in salads, blended into smoothies, sautéed with garlic, added to soups, or baked into crispy Kale chips. Its rich, earthy flavour pairs well with lemon, olive oil, chilli, and hearty grains like quinoa or barley.
