Product Description:

60 days. One look at Casper and most folks will assume it’s an ornamental. Nothing that pretty could be tasty, right? Wrong! This stunning kale is one of the tastiest, sweetest and crispiest we’ve tried! Beautifully textured leaves have snow white veins and frilly sage-green margins. The plants are extraordinarily productive, growing up to 32 inches tall in billowy masses of tender leaves for continuous cutting. While the plants mature, their striking color contrast develops further as the white color spreads outward from the veins, saturating the center of the leaves.
