Kale – North Star Polaris *NEW*

Brassica napus ~ 100 seeds.

A true dual-purpose kale producing deliciously sweet, jaggedy silver/green leaves with white ribs and veins, particularly tasty in salad mixes when picked young. This variety has been selected for winter hardiness and should give lots of new growth in the spring if left to overwinter.

North Star Polaris was developed by the wonderful folks at Adaptive Seeds in the Pacific Northwest of the USA. An excerpt from the Adaptive Seeds website:

 “The first release from our breeding work coming out of the Gulag Stars population. In keeping with the stars theme, we give you North Star Polaris. This participatory breeding project is inspired by the Culinary Breeding Network and we are happy to have Lane Selman and Chef Tim Wastell help with selections. After separating out 15 single plant lines of Gulag Stars, we discovered this selection and were quickly impressed. We kept coming back to this line with the thought, this kale is so perfect”
