Thompson & MorganVegetable Kale Red Russian 22Mm Ll Plug Plant X 12
Description
Kale ‘Red Russian’ is a stunning heirloom variety with grey-green oak like leaves with purple veins, that will deepen in colour in colder winter conditions. The leaves have a tender texture and boast a sweet flavour. This variety has a long cropping period as it is perfect for picking early as a baby leaf for salads, or it can be prepared in the same way as cabbage if left to mature.Grow kale in firm, rich fertile, well drained soil in sun or semi shade. Prepare the soil in early spring by adding plenty of well rotted farmyard manure to the soil to improve its structure and fertility. Apply lime to acid soils to reduce the acidity and lessen the risk of clubroot. When transplanting kale, plant it slightly deeper in the ground than it was in the tray provided. Plant kale at a distance of 60cm (24”) apart and cover with a protective netting or fleece to prevent attack from birds and insects. Kale is exceptionally hardy and requires little aftercare. Water when necessary and hoe between plants regularly to prevent weeds from establishing and bring insect larvae to the surface. Kale stands well in the ground for a long time throughout winter, and improves in flavour after it has been frosted. Harvest kale when it is required as the leaves do not store well, unless they are frozen.Product Specifications:. Position: Full sun. Height: Up to 75cm (30in). Spread: Up to 50cm (20in).
