Description

Our premium black‑cabbage seeds undergo strict manual screening to discard shrivelled, broken, mould‑damaged and inactive grains. Black cabbage, also well‑known as Cavolo Nero, Tuscan Kale or Dinosaur Kale, is a famous Italian heirloom leaf‑vegetable with unique long, heavily‑wrinkled, deep‑black‑green textured foliage.

Leaves carry abundant anthocyanin antioxidants, mild earthy sweet flavour and low‑bitterness. The robust cold‑hardy plant tolerates heavy frost; cold weather will further improve leaf taste. It supports repeated leaf picking and adapts well to balcony container planting, backyard garden beds, greenhouse cultivation and large‑scale commercial growing.

Detailed Planting Guide

Best Sowing Season
Sow in early‑spring or late summer‑autumn. Optimal growing temperature ranges 10℃‑22℃. Autumn‑sown crops deliver the darkest‑coloured, best‑flavoured leaves.
Seed Pre‑Treatment
Soak seeds in room‑temperature clean water for 3‑4 hours, remove floating dead seeds, lay seeds on damp cloth for pre‑sprouting.
Soil Requirement
Choose loose, fertile, fast‑draining loam soil mixed with organic compost. Add proper nitrogen‑rich fertilizer to boost leaf growth, avoid water‑stagnant planting ground.
Sowing & Spacing
Bury seeds 0.5‑1 cm deep. Keep 40‑50 cm row spacing and 15‑20 cm plant spacing after seedling‑thinning.
Germination Period
Keep top‑layer soil consistently moist. Black cabbage seeds germinate within 5‑8 days under suitable‑temperature moist soil. Clear away weeds in the early‑growth phase.
Daily‑Care & Harvest
Provide 6‑8 hours of full‑sunlight exposure every day. Maintain steady soil moisture. Pick outer mature leaves cyclically and leave inner buds to sprout new foliage for repeated harvests.

Seed Storage Instruction

Store leftover seeds inside cool, dry, shaded and well‑ventilated spots. Stay away from high‑heat, humid air and strong direct sunlight to preserve seed vitality.
