Description

The kale of the Renaissance garden. ‘Black Magic’—a refined selection of traditional Lacinato kale—produces long, deeply savoyed leaves of dark blue-green color, almost black in cool weather. The texture is tender yet sturdy, perfect for soups, sautés, and kale chips.

Plants reach 2–3 feet tall and tolerate both heat and frost, growing sweeter as temperatures drop. Highly ornamental, with upright, stately form.

A descendant of the ancient Tuscan kale, this variety embodies flavor and resilience—a dark, dramatic beauty for both plate and garden.
