Grow a garden-to-table favorite with Black Magic Kale, a stunning and productive Lacinato or "dinosaur" kale variety. This heirloom is prized for its gorgeous, deeply savoyed (crinkled) leaves that are such a dark green they appear almost black. The flavor is rich and robust, with a tender texture that is perfect for hearty salads, sautés, and healthy smoothies. An excellent cool-weather crop, its flavor and sweetness are famously enhanced by a light frost.
