Add vibrant color and bold nutrition to your garden with Red Russian Kale—a stunning and flavorful heirloom variety that’s been grown and loved since before 1885. With deep gray-green, lobed leaves supported by striking red-purple stems, this kale isn’t just delicious—it's ornamental, too!

As temperatures drop, the purple hues intensify, and the flavor sweetens—making this one of the best cool-season greens to grow.


Why Grow Red Russian Kale?

  • Pre-1885 Heirloom: A timeless, open-pollinated favorite
  • Non-GMO: Naturally grown, no genetic modification
  • Frost-Enhanced Flavor: Becomes sweeter and more tender after frost
  • Ornamental Beauty: Red stems and rich colors make it a standout in any bed
  • Fast Growing & Productive: Ready to harvest in as little as 25 days for baby leaves
  • Cold Hardy: Thrives in spring and fall; can overwinter in mild climates

Planting & Growing Tips

  • When to Plant:
    Direct sow or transplant in early spring or late summer for fall harvest. Overwinters well in zones 7 and up.
  • Light Requirements:
    Full sun preferred, but grows well in partial shade
  • Soil Needs:
    Rich, well-drained soil with compost added; ideal pH 6.0–7.5
  • Spacing:
    Space plants 12–18 inches apart for full-sized growth
  • Watering:
    Keep soil consistently moist. Mulch helps retain moisture and prevent weeds.

Pro Tip: Harvest outer leaves young for salads, or let them mature for bolder, sweeter flavor after a frost!


Culinary Uses

Red Russian Kale is as versatile as it is beautiful:

  • Use young leaves in salads, wraps, or smoothies
