Borecole Nero Di Toscana — also known as Cavolo Nero or Dinosaur Kale — is a classic Italian heirloom with deep savoyed leaves and exceptional winter hardiness. Its flavour sweetens after frost, making it a prized staple for cool-season gardens. Sow from spring to mid-summer for nutritious greens from autumn into early spring. Perfect for raised beds or kitchen gardens, this kale is robust, cut-and-come-again, and rich in nutrients. Best grown in rich soil with good drainage and full sun. A kitchen favourite and a garden showstopper.
