Southern Grove Kale

While growing kale in hot weather has its challenges, this simple-to-grow superfood can easily be grown in Zones 7 through 10. Extremely hot weather can turn kale hot and bitter. However, southern gardeners have plenty of success planting kale during the cooler periods of the year, such as early spring or late summer. Avoid planting during the hottest months to prevent the plants from struggling with extreme heat. And, of course, choose heat-resistant varieties like those selected by our expert Southern Grove gardeners. You'll have lots of options, from Casper kale to curled kale, and many of our Gurney's exclusive kale types!
