Kale ~ Red Russian

A beautiful and cold-hardy heirloom originating from Eastern Europe, Red Russian kale is prized for its tender, oak-shaped leaves and striking purple-red stems. The blue-green foliage develops deeper color in cool weather, while the flavor remains mild, slightly sweet, and never overly bitter. Exceptionally tender compared to many kales, it is ideal for fresh salads, light sautés, and quick cooking. Vigorous plants grow quickly and perform reliably in Canadian gardens, thriving in cooler temperatures and continuing to produce late into the season. Both ornamental and nourishing, Red Russian is a favorite for its elegance and ease. 50-60 days, baby greens earlier
