Only two of the many varieties are grown for the commercial market - Scotch Kale and Blue Kale.  Scotch Kale forms the grater bulk of the early market with Blue Kale, considered to be hardier and there for used for late plantings..  

Scotch Kales tend to be extremely curled, wrinkled, and finely decided divided leaves, and most have bright green or yellow green color.  The Siberian Kales have leaves usually flattened and smooth in the centers with curled and ruffled edges and have a deep bluish green color. The smooth leafed kales have little curl and are often marketed in late spring and early summer.
