Brassica, Kale 'Red Russian' Organic Heirloom

Description

This heirloom kale was first brought to the U.S. by Russian traders. Wavy gray-green leaves tinged with purple taste best when tender. Delicious cooked, or raw in salads.

Start indoors six weeks before last spring frost date and transplant two weeks before last frost. Water consistently. Cut outer leaves from bottom of plant as needed.
