Kallard™ Sweet Kita (pronounced kay-lird) is the first of its kind – a cross between a kale and a collard – resulting in an interesting leaf type with an exclusive flavor. If grown to mature bunch stage, it is reminiscent of a refined Russian kale. Upright plants boast large grey-green leaves with a slightly crinkled surface and frilled edges on strong midribs. When grown to a baby leaf or teen leaf stage (in the field or indoors), the flatter, smoother leaf has a beautifully cut edge. At any stage, the leaves and stems exhibit a more tender texture than kale and the taste is a unique combination of the earthy, peppery parents. Matures in about 30 days for baby leaf and about 65 days for bunch.
