Red Russian is a classic heirloom kale first recorded in 1885, prized for its attractive blue-green leaves with reddish-purple veins and stems. The tender leaves have a sweet, mild flavour that makes them excellent for salads when young, while mature leaves are delicious steamed, sautéed, or added to soups and stews. Vigorous plants grow 45–90 cm tall and are exceptionally cold hardy, tolerating temperatures down to approximately -10°C. Matures in around 50–60 days.
