55 days. Brassica oleracea. Open Pollinated. Premier Kale. This early variety produces heavy crops of deep green kale leaves. Very flavorful. Used fresh in salads and on sandwiches or cooked. This variety stands 3 to 4 weeks longer than other varieties. Provides higher yields when seeded in the fall for spring harvest. Most gardeners will be able to overwinter plants started in the fall. Spring-started plants will get very large. Extremely high in antioxidants and beta carotene. Also known as Early Hanover Kale. It is a slow bolting variety that is best suited to cooler climates. Great variety for wildlife forage, preferred forage for deer. An excellent choice for home gardens and market growers. United States Department of Agriculture, G 30729.

Info:

Kale is also called Borecole in the United Kingdom. You can harvest Kale between December and April in the south, where it is used as a winter green. Kale is a hardy plant, and does well in very hot weather. It also does well in very cold weather and can be left out in the garden all winter. You can have successive plantings throughout the year. Plant in August for fall and winter harvest. In the South, you can plant as late as October for winter harvest. Kale seeds are usually planted directly in the garden. For spring planting, plant seeds 30 days before the last frost, and 70 days before the first autumn frost for a fall crop. Plants can grow 12 - 18" tall.
