Kale Seeds - Red Russian Kale

Description The heirloom that bridges flavor and cold hardiness. ‘Red Russian’ kale bears flat, oakleaf-shaped leaves in blue-green with striking purple veins and stems. The flavor is sweet and tender, especially after frost, and the young leaves are superb for salads or baby greens. Plants reach 18–24 inches tall and produce continuously through the season. Excellent for overwintering and spring regrowth. An 18th-century Russian heirloom brought to North America by traders, this variety remains beloved for its beauty and reliability—colorful, resilient, and richly flavored.
