Good looks and great taste combine in kale, which makes a striking addition to any garden setting. Dark blue-green to black leaves often have a heavily crinkled texture, which inspires one of its many common names, dinosaur kale. The flattened leaves are perfect for making kale chips. This kale dates to 18th century Italy, which is why it’s also called Tuscan kale. Thomas Jefferson grew it in his garden at Monticello.
