Black Toscana (Brassica oleracea acephala) is the classic Italian kale, sold in some places as Tuscan or Dinosaur kale, with long dark green leaves in a deep crinkled texture. It is one of the easiest vegetables to raise from seed, and picked leaf by leaf it will feed a household for months from one sowing. This listing is a seed packet, not a seedling.
Sow into fertile, well drained soil in full sun. Cover the seed shallowly, firm the surface and keep it damp until the seedlings appear. Space the plants 40 to 50cm apart to let them reach full size. Closer spacing produces smaller, more tender leaves, so a few extra plants lift the total harvest.
It can be sown year round, with autumn and spring the strongest seasons. The first leaves are ready to pick in 6 to 8 weeks, and harvesting continues from there for months. Leave the growing point alone, water steadily rather than in bursts, and the plant keeps replacing what you remove.
Use. Vegetable beds and raised beds in full sun, where the fertile free draining soil it wants is easy to provide. It also holds its own in an ornamental bed, because the upright dark foliage reads as a plant rather than a crop.
Also large containers. It grows well in deep pots with good drainage. Small pots dry out too quickly and the plants stay small and tough.
Not at its best in high summer. It can be sown year round, but the flavour sharpens after cold weather, so a midsummer sowing is the weakest. Seed is delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95.
