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.
