Description
Red Russian kale is a tender heirloom green with flat, frilled leaves, blue-green color, and purple-red stems that become even more striking in cool weather. Often associated with Russian and Siberian kale types, it brings a softer texture than many curly kales and a mild, sweet flavor.
Harvest young leaves for salads or larger leaves for cooking, soups, and sautés. The plants are cold hardy and productive, offering color and usefulness deep into the season. In the garden row, Red Russian looks delicate but stands up well.
