Kale 'White Russian'

Kale 'White Russian' is one of the hardiest and most tender of all kales. These vigorous plants grow 18-36 inches tall and have a mild sweet flavor. Hardy to -10 deg. F. Plant in full sun or partial shade in hotter areas in soil amended with plenty of compost, and feed with a high nitrogen fertilizer to get the most tender leaves.

Planting your 6 pack: Either separate each seedling by carefully teasing apart the roots and plant each seedling 10-12 inches apart, and water immediately after. Or, plant the cluster of seedlings 12-18 inches apart, and water in after planting.

Harvest by picking off the lower leaves, and plants will continue to grow from the top. Young leaves are great raw in salads. Older leaves are best steamed or sauteed, and in soups.
