(50 days) Harvest earlier in the form of baby greens! Also known as "Buda Kale" or "Ragged Jack", this kale was first introduced to Canada by Russian fur traders. Deep gray-green leaves are held up by red stems, but turn deep purple/red in cold weather. Red Russian kale is a bit more tender and flavorful than other kales. Cold tolerant and even tastier after the first freeze.
