Brassica oleracea

A tender variety of kale with grey-green leaves, purple veins and purple stems, Red Russian kale is a longtime staple in gardens. The leaves are flat and toothed. It is a delightful green in salads and stir fry or used on sandwiches, baked, mixed into soups, or added to omelets.

Ideal germination temperature is 60-75 degrees Fahrenheit. Direct sow outside from early spring to early summer, when the temperature is at least 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Plant your spring crop in part shade. Plant your fall crop of kale in full sun. Alternatively, start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before your last frost in the spring and/or 6-8 weeks before your first frost in the fall, transplanting outside when the temperature is at least 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
