Red Russian Kale Seeds (Organic)

Red Russian Kale Seeds (Organic)

Beautiful leaves, mild flavor.

Red Russian Kale is a standout heirloom variety with stunning purple stems and flat, slightly frilly green leaves. Known for its tender texture and mild, sweet flavor, this kale is perfect for fresh salads, steaming, or adding to soups and stews. The leaves become even sweeter after exposure to frost, making it an excellent choice for fall and winter gardening. Thriving in full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil, Red Russian Kale matures in 50-60 days and is tolerant of both cold and heat. Its striking appearance adds ornamental value to vegetable gardens, while its nutritional profile makes it a staple in the kitchen. The plant grows up to 18-24 inches tall and can be harvested continuously for fresh, tender leaves throughout the growing season. Easy to grow and adaptable, Red Russian Kale is a favorite for gardeners seeking beauty, flavor, and productivity.

Kale - Red Russian - Brassica Napus (Pabularia group)

Biennial Heirloom. This rare, gourmet variety has red-purple veins on slate-green, wavy-margined leaves. Cool weather intensifies its color. Steamed lightly, the frilly leaves make an attractive garnish. If using in soup, add kale at the end to avoid overcooking.

Amazing!

This was the first time growing this kale from seed and we had a great experience! Great germination, seedlings were strong, and they’re LOVING the spring and summer weather! Not to mention they’re delicious! Will be growing every year!

Awesome!

I planted these in my seedling tray under an LED light I just purchased, and they sprouted within days! I am excited to cultivate my own Kale! I have never used an LED light, and I was concerned because it was a cheaper one, but these seedlings love it.

Beautiful Kale

This Kale is so colorful in a salad and good for you too! More tender than other kales, we sow Red Russian Kale thickly so we have lots to harvest for our salads when it’s young and enjoy it still in our salads when leaves are fully mature. We direct seed in late spring and they germinate quickly.

Great Fall Planter!

Just put this in the garden, and am eagerly anticipating a nice harvest through the fall. Has worked great in MN the last two seasons.
