Kale Plants - Black Kale

Bred in Britain for the British climate!

The kale plant ‘Black Kale’ is a fairly new variety of Italian black cabbage, this variety is bred to perform better in the UK climate. With improved cold tolerance, colour, leaf shape, and bolt resistance than current Italian varieties.

’Black Kale’ makes the perfect addition to any baby leaf salad or stir-fry your leaves with chill and garlic. Kale is packed full of tremendous health benefits such as vital vitamins and powerful antioxidants. A growing amount of evidence shows that kale has compounds such as glucosinolates, which may suppress the development of cancer cells from areas of the body such as the lungs, liver, breast, and stomach! Kale - Black Kale has been tested and has roughly 5 times the amount of glucosinolates than other kale varieties!

Grow kale in firm, rich fertile, well drained soil in sun or semi shade. Prepare the soil in early spring by adding plenty of well rotted farmyard manure to the soil to improve its structure and fertility. Apply lime to acid soils to reduce the acidity and lessen the risk of clubroot. When transplanting kale, plant it slightly deeper in the ground than it was in the tray provided. Plant kale at a distance of 60cm (24”) apart and cover with a protective netting or fleece to prevent attack from birds and insects. Water the plants thoroughly after planting.

Live Plants

Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.
