This delicious grey-green kale is pretty enough to plant among the flowers. Much larger than regular kale (60-90cm tall), the stems are purplish and the leaves are shaped like big oak leaves and coloured a velvety gray green. The purple colours become richer after frost, when the flavour becomes sweeter. Surprisingly, the big leaves are very tender and delicious.

More heat tolerant than other kales, for a longer harvest period in spring and autumn. Leaves are large, flat, rounded, similar to collards, but very large and with very prominent white veins. The leaves are more succulent, and the flavour is more cabbage-like than other kales. The fleshy stems or petioles are enjoyed as well.

The cultural details are the same as cabbages, the only difference is, it is harvested the same way as loose leaf lettuce, you just keep removing the bottom leaves. The plant grows 3 to 4 ft tall on a strong centre stem. The leaves are green and are much better eaten raw. It is an excellent plant leaf to feed poultry.
