Introducing Our Happy Accident Seed Mix: White Russian Kale & Slow Bolt Cilantro!
Taste the Unexpected:
Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors with our unique seed mix. White Russian kale offers a mild, slightly sweet taste with a hint of nuttiness, perfect for salads, smoothies, and sautés. Slow bolt cilantro, on the other hand, brings a fresh, citrusy, and slightly peppery flavor that can elevate any dish, from salsas to garnishes.
Seed Heritage:
White Russian Kale: This heirloom variety hails from Eastern Europe and is known for its cold-hardiness and tender, frilly leaves. It’s a beloved choice among gardeners for its resilience and nutritional benefits.
Slow Bolt Cilantro: Originating from the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions, this variety of cilantro is bred to resist bolting (going to seed) in warmer weather, ensuring a longer harvest period. It’s a staple in many global cuisines, prized for its aromatic leaves.
Growing Time:
White Russian Kale: Typically, this kale matures in about 50-60 days. You can start harvesting baby greens as early as 25-30 days.
Slow Bolt Cilantro: This cilantro variety matures in approximately 55-70 days. For continuous harvest, you can start picking leaves as soon as the plant is about 4-6 inches tall.
Ideal Growing Zones:
White Russian Kale: Thrives in USDA zones 3-9. It’s particularly well-suited for cooler climates and can even withstand light frosts, making it a versatile addition to your garden.
Slow Bolt Cilantro: Best grown in USDA zones 2-11. It prefers cooler weather and partial shade, especially in hotter climates, to prevent premature bolting.
Gardening Tips:
Planting: Sow seeds directly in the garden after the last frost date. For continuous harvest, plant seeds every 2-3 weeks.
Soil: Both plants prefer well-drained, fertile soil with plenty of organic matter.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mulching can help retain moisture and keep roots cool.
Sunlight: Kale enjoys full sun to partial shade, while cilantro prefers partial shade in hotter climates.
