Add a splash of beautiful color to your garden and your plate with Red Russian Kale. This popular heirloom is prized for its stunning reddish-purple stems and its tender, flat, oak-leaf shaped, blue-green leaves. It has a wonderfully mild and sweet flavor that lacks the bitterness of some other kale varieties, making it a favorite for fresh salads. Exceptionally cold-hardy, its color and sweetness intensify after a light frost, making it a perfect choice for fall and winter harvests.
