Description
A dazzlingly visual improvement on the traditional Red Russian-type kale. Red Ursa Kale has bright pinkish-purple veins that look like bolts of lightning extending out into the leaves’ deep green-blue lobes. Incredibly early, vigorous and tender kale, growing frillier after a few pickings. Another stand-out variety from the mind of plant breeder Frank Morton at Wild Garden Seeds.
Days to Maturity: 25 to baby, 65 to full size
Latin name: Brassica napus
Life cycle for Seed Saving: Biennial
Planting Instructions:
Direct sow or transplant Red Ursa Kale as soon as soil temps are above 45°. Seeding depth: ¼”. Seeding rate for baby leaf: 3-4 seeds/inch. If starting indoors, transplant at 12-18”. Row spacing: 18-30” for full size.
