Brassica oleracea Midnight Sun, also known as Midnight Sun collard, is a unique kale variety distinguished by its delicate, slightly sweet flavor. Unlike kale, the plants remain short and compact, making them suitable for limited-space vegetable gardens and easy to harvest.
Midnight Sun has a mild flavor, making it an excellent choice for anyone who wants to avoid the typical cabbage-like smell or bitter taste. The leaves are perfect for briefly steaming, boiling, or stir-frying, and retain their delicate flavor and texture.
Growing Midnight Sun collard greens is much the same as growing other types of kale:
Sowing (pre-sowing): May to mid-July
Planting outside: June to early August
Planting distance: approximately 50 x 40 cm
This type of cabbage requires fewer nutrients than other types of cabbage, making fertilization easier. The plants thrive in nutrient-rich, well-drained soil, but are adaptable and can adapt to various soil types.
Midnight Sun is quite frost-hardy, allowing for a harvest that extends from October to February. The leaves are harvested individually, allowing you to enjoy fresh greens for several months. This makes the variety ideal for winter cultivation and continuous harvesting in both hobby gardens and professional growers.
The mild, slightly sweet leaves of Midnight Sun are versatile in the kitchen:
Steam or boil briefly: retains flavour and nutrients
Stir-fries: young leaves remain soft and light
Soups and stews: adds natural sweetness
Fresh salads: young leaves can be eaten raw
Thanks to its light, subtle flavour, Midnight Sun is suitable for various dishes and can be easily combined with other vegetables.
Although this kale requires less feeding than other cabbage varieties, Midnight Sun benefits from a light fertilizer and sufficient water. This promotes continuous growth of healthy leaves and a high yield during the colder months.
