Red Russian Kale offers a refined, tender leaf ideal for salad mixes and light cooking. This heirloom non-GMO variety features striking purple stems and deep gray-green leaves with purple veins, flat and tooth-edged for an elegant appearance. Its medium-tall plants mature quickly—harvest baby leaves in 25 days or wait 50 days for full growth. With a germination rate of 80% or higher, these sustainable seeds arrive in eco-friendly, reusable packaging that supports responsible gardening. Red Russian is prized by home gardeners and small-scale growers for its mild, slightly sweet flavor profile and tender texture compared to other kale varieties. The distinctive foliage adds visual interest to both kitchen gardens and ornamental plantings. Direct sow in spring or fall for best results, spacing plants 12–18 inches apart in full sun to partial shade. This cold-hardy cultivar tolerates light frosts, extending your harvest season well into autumn. Whether you're building a gourmet salad blend or exploring traditional heirloom varieties, Red Russian Kale delivers consistent performance and exceptional culinary versatility.
