Brassica napus
Bear Necessities is an unusual and highly attractive Kale with finely divided, feathery foliage that becomes increasingly frilled as the plants mature. Young plants can initially resemble Red Russian Kale, but with age the leaves develop a much finer, almost Mizuna-like appearance.
This is an excellent “Kale for people who don’t like Kale”. The flavour is mild with a gentle mustardy note, without the stronger cabbage character of many traditional varieties. Young leaves are particularly tender and excellent added raw to salads, while mature leaves become beautifully soft and mild when cooked.
The deeply cut foliage also makes Bear Necessities useful as a cut-and-come-again green. Harvest individual leaves regularly while leaving the central growing point intact, and plants will continue producing over an extended period.
As a Brassica napus rather than Brassica oleracea, Bear Necessities belongs to a different species from common curly kales such as Dwarf Blue Curled and Tuscan Kale. It thrives through cool weather and mature plants tolerate frost well, with cooler conditions often improving the sweetness and tenderness of the leaves.

When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Autumn to winter
Subtropics: Late summer to winter
Mild climates: Late summer to spring
Cold climates: Spring to autumn
Planting / Sowing
Sow approximately 5–10 mm deep directly into prepared soil or raise in trays for transplanting. Keep consistently moist during germination.
Space plants approximately 30–45 cm apart in full sun to part shade with fertile, well-drained soil. Maintain regular moisture to encourage tender leafy growth.
Begin harvesting individual baby leaves when young for salads or allow plants to mature for larger, increasingly feathery leaves. Regular harvesting encourages continued production.
If saving seed, Bear Necessities can cross-pollinate with other Brassica napus crops flowering at the same time, including compatible B. napus kales, swedes and canola, so appropriate isolation is required to maintain the variety true to type.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
Brassica oleracea var. acephala
Curly Scarlet is a striking open-pollinated Kale producing deeply curled leaves in rich shades of scarlet, burgundy and purple. The colour intensifies as temperatures fall, making this an especially beautiful vegetable through the cooler months.
Young leaves are tender enough to harvest as baby greens for salads, where their colour provides a dramatic contrast to other leafy vegetables. Mature leaves develop a fuller flavour and are excellent steamed, sautéed, baked into kale chips or added to soups, stews, pasta and other cooked dishes. Removing the tougher central stem before cooking larger leaves gives the most tender result.
Kale is one of the oldest cultivated forms of Brassica oleracea, originating from the Mediterranean region and grown for its leaves rather than a tightly formed head. It is naturally rich in nutrients, particularly vitamins A, C and K, along with carotenoids and minerals.
Curly Scarlet thrives in cool weather and mature plants are remarkably frost hardy. Exposure to cold can deepen the purple-red pigmentation and often improves flavour as the plant accumulates sugars in response to low temperatures.
Seed count: approximately 250–370 seeds/g

Brassica oleracea var. acephala
Dwarf Blue Curled is a classic Scotch-type Kale producing dense rosettes of finely curled blue-green leaves. Compact, hardy and highly productive, it is an excellent choice for smaller gardens while still providing a generous harvest over an extended period.
The deeply curled leaves have a robust kale flavour that becomes noticeably sweeter and more tender after exposure to light frost. Young leaves can be harvested for salads and baby-leaf mixes, while mature leaves are excellent steamed, sautéed, added to soups and stews, blended into pesto or baked into kale chips.
Scotch kales have been cultivated in northern Europe for centuries, where their exceptional cold tolerance made them an important winter vegetable. Dwarf Blue Curled retains this resilience and is slow to bolt, allowing plants to remain productive through cool conditions.
Kale is one of the oldest cultivated forms of Brassica oleracea, originating from the Mediterranean region and grown for its leaves rather than a tightly formed head. It is naturally rich in vitamins A, C and K, along with carotenoids and minerals.

Brassica oleracea var. acephala
Dwarf Green is a compact, traditional Kale producing abundant curled, light green leaves on short, sturdy stems. Its smaller growth habit makes it particularly useful for small vegetable gardens, raised beds and containers while still providing generous harvests of nutritious leafy greens.
The tender young leaves can be picked for salads and baby-leaf mixes, while mature leaves develop a fuller kale flavour and are excellent steamed, sautéed, added to soups and stews, blended into pesto or baked into kale chips.

Brassica napus
Dwarf Siberian is an exceptionally hardy Kale producing attractive blue-green, plume-like leaves with softly frilled edges. Plants remain compact at approximately 30–40 cm tall but are vigorous and prolific, providing generous harvests of tender leafy greens through the cooler months.
The young leaves are mild and tender enough to use fresh in salads and baby-leaf mixes, while larger leaves can be steamed, sautéed or added to soups, stews and other cooked dishes. The flavour becomes sweeter and more tender after exposure to cold weather.
Despite the name, Siberian Kale is not a Brassica oleracea kale. It belongs to Brassica napus, the same species as Bear Necessities, swedes and canola. Siberian-type kales are particularly renowned for their exceptional cold tolerance and have long been valued in regions where winter conditions make other leafy vegetables difficult to grow.
Dwarf Siberian is remarkably frost hardy and the blue-green foliage holds well without yellowing even through severe cold. Frost can actually improve eating quality as the plants accumulate sugars in response to low temperatures.

Brassica oleracea var. acephala
Nero Di Toscana is a magnificent old Italian Kale producing long, narrow, deeply blistered leaves in very dark blue-green. Also known as Lacinato, Tuscan Kale, Cavolo Nero, Black Cabbage and Cavolo Palmizio, the leaves emerge continuously from the centre of the plant, eventually creating a striking palm-like appearance.
The leaves have a rich, earthy flavour that becomes sweeter and more tender after exposure to frost. Young leaves can be finely shredded into salads, while mature leaves are excellent braised, sautéed or added to soups, stews and pasta dishes. Remove the firm central rib from larger leaves before cooking if desired.
This traditional Tuscan vegetable has been cultivated in Italy for centuries and is particularly associated with the rustic cooking of Tuscany. It is an essential ingredient in ribollita, the famous Tuscan bread and vegetable soup, and is also traditionally paired with beans, olive oil and garlic.
The Italian name Nero di Toscana means “black of Tuscany”, referring to the exceptionally dark colour of its foliage. The alternative name Cavolo Palmizio, or “palm cabbage”, describes the palm-like form that mature plants develop as the lower leaves are harvested.
Plants are vigorous, cold hardy and productive over a long period. Mature plants tolerate frost well, and cold weather can significantly improve the flavour of the leaves.

Brassica oleracea
Ornamental Fringed Mixed Kale is grown for its striking rosettes of deeply curled and fringed foliage, creating the appearance of large, colourful flowers. Sometimes called flowering kale or cabbage rose, plants develop shades of green, cream, white, pink and purple, with colours becoming richer and more pronounced as temperatures cool.
Native to the Mediterranean region, ornamental kale brings colour and texture to garden beds, borders and containers through the cooler months when many flowering plants are dormant. The unusual foliage is also popular with florists and can be harvested on long stems for use in floral arrangements.
Although primarily grown as an ornamental, the leaves are edible like other kales, though they tend to be tougher and more strongly flavoured than varieties selected specifically for eating.

Brassica oleracea var. acephala
Scotch Borecole is a traditional Kale producing dense clusters of tightly curled green leaves with finely frilled edges. Exceptionally hardy and productive, it provides a long harvest of nutritious greens through the cooler months and is one of the classic forms of curly kale.
The young leaves are tender enough for salads and baby-leaf mixes, while mature leaves develop a fuller flavour and are excellent steamed, sautéed, braised or added to soups and stews. The tightly curled foliage also makes excellent kale chips. Like many kales, its flavour becomes sweeter and more tender after exposure to cold weather and light frost.
The name “borecole” comes from the Dutch boerenkool, meaning “farmer’s cabbage”, reflecting kale’s long history as a dependable, cold-hardy staple crop in northern Europe. Scotch-type kales became particularly important in Scotland, where their ability to withstand harsh winter conditions provided fresh greens when relatively few other vegetables were available.
Plants tolerate frost well and continue producing over a long period when individual outer leaves are harvested regularly. They prefer full sun and fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture.
