White Russian Kale

White Russian has better cold hardiness and is just as sweet and tender as Red Russian. A flat-leaf Siberian type, silvery green with white veining. Similar to Red Russian, but a few inches taller, a third more productive, with larger, more serrated leaves. Also, White Russian is much hardier, Non-GMO, Open Pollinated. New kale bred by Frank Morton 21 days for baby leaves, 50 days for full size.

The earliest starts begin 3-4 weeks indoors before transplanting. Plant 3-4 seeds 1/4 inch deep per cell, or 6 in. apart in well-drained, rich soil in partial shade to full sun. Germinates in 3-10 days, thin back to 1 plant per pot or every 8-12 inch as true leaves establish. Extended summer heat will cause greens to bolt and become bitter.
