Kale 'Red Russian'

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.

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.
