Brassica oleracea Origin: Oregon Improvement status: Breeding population Seeds per packet: ~50 Germination tested 11/2024: 87% Life cycle: Biennial EFN EXCLUSIVE. The original 'Dazzling Blue' is a remarkable kale bred by Hank Keogh of Avoca Seed Farm in Oregon, who worked as a farmer for years with Frank Morton of Wild Garden Seeds and used some of Frank's work as the basis for continued breeding. 'Dazzling Blue' has taken the seed and culinary worlds by storm, increasingly showing up at markets around the country due to its striking appearance and wonderful flavor.Now, meet Dazzling Blue's most eccentric cousin, 'Dazzling Texture', selected by Hank from "off-types" within the 'Dazzling Blue' population. This mix has been selected for diversity in shape and type, with a mix of colors and rumpled crunchy frills. Some of this comes from a partial backcross of early Dazzling Blue "off-types" with 'Purple Peacock' Broccoli and an early side strain of Wild Garden Seeds' Lacinato Rainbow Kal
