Kale Russian Frills #6513
(55 days) Brassica oleracea A re-introduction of an almost-lost Oregon variety bred by Tim Peters. Similar to Red Russian when young, the purple and red-veined leaves get very frilly as they mature while remaining exceptionally tender. The dazzling frills upon frills upon frills make this 18"-28" kale a great addition to kale bunches or mesclun mixes.
