Description
An incredibly easy-to-grow iron and vitamin-rich kale that can be harvested for a very long time thanks to its exceptional frost tolerance.

During mild winters, the variety can be harvested as late as January, which is a big plus.

The taste is fresh, appetizing, and excellent for freezing.

In addition to the incredible taste, the Westland Autumn's foliage is absolutely amazing and makes for incredibly decorative plantings, pots, and garden arrangements. This variety is excellent for making delicious kale chips in the oven with just a little garlic, olive oil, and salt.

It also goes well when blended into morning smoothies for an extra vitamin boost or why not a cream sauce with Västerbotten cheese? Yum! Many people know that kale is healthy, but at Florea, we want to highlight how it is both healthy and good for the body.

Kale contains lots of flavonoids that have anti-inflammatory effects.

Flavonoids help protect the body's cells and have also been shown to reduce the risk of heart and vascular diseases.

In addition to being rich in iron, vitamin C, and vitamin A, kale is also an excellent source of ALA, which is converted to the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA when we eat it.

The fatty acid DHA has also been shown to help with dementia and depression, among other things.

Care and cultivation advice

Sow indoors in seed soil from March to May in planting containers or pots. For best germination results, make sure to cover the sowing with transparent cover equipped with air holes, but it is also possible to sow without it. Make sure to lightly water the soil before sowing and then sprinkle some seeds. Before germination, the sowing should be placed at about 20 degrees and after germination as bright as possible and slightly cooler. Depending on how large the planting container is and how crowded the plants are, it may be necessary to transplant them. Then you can separate some plants if they are too close together and put them in their own planting containers or pots and transplant the new ones so that they have a little more space for their roots and can continue to develop.

The plants are then transplanted after being properly hardened off. The variety can also be directly sown in the planting location from April to June, but for best results, we recommend pre-cultivation. Use fiber cloth to protect the plants from pest insects. The variety thrives best in well-drained and nutritious soil, but can survive in most soil types.

The variety can be harvested from September to December, and it is best after a few frosty nights.
