Kale 'Red Russian'
Brassica napus (Pabularia Group)An excellent vegetable for the cold months. The colder it is, the more purple the foliage, and if you get frost, the flavour will improve also. Perfect for those cold frosty gardens down south and inland. Delicious steamed and in hearty winter soups.

Kale 'Red Russian'
Winner of our spring 2015 kale taste tests! The tender blue-green leaves are blushed with purple and were the stand out winners in our steamed and raw taste tests. If you are looking to add a new superfood to your list then this is the one for you. Frost improves flavour.
How to grow
Plant in a fertile, moist soil. Kale grows best during the cooler months, there are also fewer white cabbage butterflies around at that time, which lay their eggs on brassicas, when the caterpillars hatch they devour the leaves.
