Kale 'Red Russian'
(50 days)
500 seeds $3.00
HomeRed Russian kale has beautiful, gray-green leaves with purple veins and deeply cut edges. We like to add the tender leaves to bean soups and stews during the last 10 minutes of cooking for extra nutrition. It's also a good baby green. We love this variety for its sheer abundance of leaves.
Russian heirloom, pre-1885. Also known as Ragged Jack.
Latin name: Brassica oleracea.
