Kale 'Sutherland'

A full sun position will ensure your plant thrives and remember to apply water fairly sparingly. Keep in mind when planting that Sutherland is thought of as very hardy, so this plant will tend to survive through freezing conditions. Sutherland requires a loamy soil with a ph of 6.0 - 7.5 - it grows best in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 2.97 inches (7.62 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.25 inches (0.64 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 13°C / 55°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Sutherland about 49 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Sutherland is a very hardy plant.
