Kale Prizm F1

2016 AAS Vegetable Award Winner

Dreaming of growing the popular superfood kale but think you don’t have room?  Look no further than our newest 2016 AAS Winner Kale Prizm F1.  When grown, Prizm produces attractive short, tight ruffle-edged leaves that are content to be grown in containers as well as in-ground beds.  Their easy-to-maintain, almost stemless stalks are quick to re-leaf so harvest early and often for a continual supply throughout the season. The excellent tasting, almost nutty-flavored leaves are tender enough to enjoy in fresh salads but also hold up well when cooked. Prizm is a foodie gardener’s dream come true!

HOW TO GROW

Spring crop: Start indoors and transplant outdoors after danger of hard frost. Fall crop: Time crop to finish under cool conditions in the fall. Frost enhances flavor.

Can be grown either in-ground or patio containers.

  1. Phoebe Anderson – 07/28/2020

    Here in Knoxville Tn our hot summers usually force kale into bolting early this is not the case for this variety. This kale has continued to produced delicious kale through the heat of our summers and the plant grows huge producing a large bounty. If your looking for a sure fire plant this one will blow your socks off. Highly Recommend.

    Picked some this morning. Very compact. You know when you have a handful of Prism Kale. #AASWinner

  3. KATHRYN STARLYN – 08/01/2018

    I love love this Kale !! I make kale chips all year cuz these beauties are resilient and ever growing in the PNW!!! I make “Cheesy Kale Chips” which are thick with kalamata olives, cashews, nutritional yeast etc … the ruffles on this kale hold in all the goodness in the dehydrator. Besides that, its compact, which is awesome, keep in mind what you plant around it so as not to overshade it !!

    Prizm Kale was a winner in my garden, and grew well into the winter through several frosts here in Zone 5 Maine. A must have seed for anyone who loves kale.

  5. Gary Pilarchik – 04/25/2017

    Second year growing this variety. Best thing is it is compact and the leaves are delicious. They aren’t as thick as some kale leaves so they are easy to chew but strong enough to hold the dressing. If you pick the leaves regularly, it will produce more. Great for containers. Lots of leaves!
