Organic Rainbow Lacinato Kale Imagine burgundy, lavender and rose stems on the classic, glossy lacinato leaf: Rainbow Lacinato is truly an exceptional variety. Originally developed by the visionary farmer & plant breeder Frank Morton, we have further selected Rainbow Lacinato for cold-hardiness, incredible stem and leaf color, more consistent lacinato leaf shape and summer tenderness. (It's so vigorous we had finches nesting in it! Check out the photo above.)
