Who wants a "dinosaur" in the garden? If you garden with kids, add easy-to-grow Bonnie Plants® Lacinato Kale (aka "Dinosaur Kale") to your vegetable garden, and help them make a healthy garden-to-table snack of kale chips. An heirloom variety, the heavily crinkled, blue-green leaves make an instant impact when planted in garden beds or containers. Lacinato Kale looks gorgeous paired with cool-season flowers, so grow it where you can enjoy the view. Use it in place of spinach or chard: harvest young leaves to eat fresh, or add mature leaves to casseroles, frittatas, stir-fries, or soup. For an extended harvest, pick the plant's outer leaves first, and it will continue to grow new leaves. Grow Lacinato Kale in full to partial sun, 18 to 24 inches apart. It grows 24 to 36-inches tall and matures in 45 days. Be sure to water your plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, and feed it regularly with Miracle-Gro® Plant Food. With more than 100 years of experience, Bonnie Plants® offers high-quality live plant varieties designed for your gardening success.
