White Russian Kale (Brassica oleracea)
White Russian Kale (Brassica oleracea) offers the same sweetness and tenderness as Red Russian but with improved cold hardiness and exceptional tolerance to wet soil. It features white to green stems and green leaves. Harvest baby leaves in 21 days or full-sized leaves in 50 days.
Other kales have been less tolerant of wet soils and rainy winter weather than White Russian. It doesn't mind if its feet get wet, making it ideal for winter crops. Frost improves the flavour, and even floods don't seem to bother it. White Russian is the kale to choose if you live in a wet climate during the fall, winter, and/or spring.
