Mild, sweet flavor and tender texture
Kale yea! We love this hardy biennial – a testament to both beauty and health. With a mild, sweet flavor and tender texture. This stunning kale variety showcases striking blue-green leaves with deep purple veins, creating an ornamental yet functional addition to your garden.
Ready in 50-65 days, Red Russian Kale is a hardy and adaptable choice. It flourishes in cool weather, making it perfect for early spring and fall plantings. With origins in Russia, this nutrient-dense heirloom kale variety offers a rich history of flavor and sustenance.
Caring for your Red Russian Kale is effortless. Plant in well-draining soil with adequate sunlight for optimal growth. Regular watering keeps the soil consistently moist, and a layer of mulch aids in moisture retention and weed prevention.
Harvesting this nutritional powerhouse is simple. As the leaves grow to a desirable size, gently pluck outer leaves from the base, allowing the inner leaves to continue developing. This method ensures a continuous supply of tender, flavorful leaves for your salads, smoothies, stir-fries and soups.

Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil & Water: Kale will thrive in any moderately fertile soil with good drainage, organic matter, and a pH range of 5.5-6.5. It needs regular, even watering to avoid bitterness.
Planting & Growing: Kale grows best in cool climates and may survive winter. Start seeds indoors 6 weeks before the last frost or seed directly as soon as the soil can be worked. Plant mid-July for fall harvests.
Harvesting & Storage: Harvest young leaves for salads. Older leaves are best steamed or cooked. Unlike most kale varieties, Red Russian is sweet flavored even before a frost.
