DESCRIPTION

‘Westlandse Winter’ is a classic curly kale grown for its cold hardiness and extended harvest window. The leaves are darkening green, curly and sturdy—great for smoothies, sautéing, soups, roasting, or kale chips.

A key benefit is winter performance: plants can remain outdoors well into cold weather, and after the first frosts the taste typically becomes sweeter and less bitter, making it a favourite for late-season picking.

• Row spacing: 50–60 cm

• Site: full sun to partial shade

• Soil: fertile, humus-rich, consistently moist (add compost for best results)
