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.
