With a rainbow of burgundy, lavender and rose stems on a glossy lacinato leaf, Rainbow Lacinato Kale is truly breathtaking. She’s remarkably cold-hardy, as well! As baby leaves or glorious full-size plants, rainbow lacinato will surround you with abundance in all seasons. Thanks to untold generations of indigenous seedkeepers who have saved kale seeds for millennia and to the visionary farmer & plant breeder Frank Morton of Wild Garden Seeds for creating this new expression of kale that we love so well!
