Kale - Red Russian

Kale - Red Russian I really like this kale because of the bright color it brings to the garden. It has deep purple stalks and a nice greenish-grey leaf color that plays nicely with the purple. The leaves are a bit more tender when compared to other kale varieties and it is really easy to grow.  Type: Heirloom When to Plant:  North Florida: September - March Central Florida: September - March South Florida: September - March Planting instructions: Plant in a spot with full sun and well-draining soil.
