(50 days) Harvest earlier in the form of baby greens! Also known as "Buda Kale" or "Ragged Jack", this kale was first introduced to Canada by Russian fur traders. Deep gray-green leaves are held up by red stems, but turn deep purple/red in cold weather. Red Russian kale is a bit more tender and flavorful than other kales. Cold tolerant and even tastier after the first freeze. The cold will also deepen the color. Grows 20-28" tall. Use it as an edible border, it is so pretty!
Organic Red Russian
Kale is one of the most frost tolerant vegetables. Kale grows best in cool weather. Kale will perform much better with rich, well draining, fertile soil. Water deeply, reaching mature root zone. Moisture fluctuations will cause tough and bitter kale leaves. High summer temps reduce Kale's ability to grow and makes it produce bitter leaves. Kale is a very rich source of Calcium, Iron, Vitamins A and C.
