A recent introduction to the vegetable garden, the result of crossing a brussels sprout and curly Kale resulting in a heathy and nutritious vegetable. Packed full of vitamins A, B and E.
Kalettes are tasty small green and purple sprouts with curly leaves, like a cabbage. Fantastic complex taste of a brussel spout but with the mild, sweet and nutty taste of Kale. Ideal for adding to stir fries.
Winter hardy Annual
Pack Size: 30 Seeds
March to April
Where to SowSow the seeds thinly in trays or two seeds per cell in modules under glass at 13°C. Later sowings can be made into a seed bed in shallow drills 2cm (3/4") deep in short rows.
What to do NextAs soon as glasshouse seedlings show their first pair of leaves, prick off into trays 5cm (2") apart or thin modules to one seedling per cell. Gradually harden off before planting out when about 15cm (6in) tall. Plant in beds 60cm (24in) between plants and 90cm (36in) between the rows. Outdoor sowings should be thinned to 7-10cm (3-4in) apart, then once plants are large enough, lifted and transplanted to their final planting positions, spaced the same as detailed above.
HarvestSmall green and purple sprouts with curly leaves from October to December.
Handy TipSuccessive sowings and plantings can extend the cropping period
