Kale: Red Russian

Kale (/keɪl/), also called leaf cabbage, belongs to a group of cabbage (Brassica oleracea) cultivars primarily grown for their edible leaves, but it is also used as an ornamental plant. Its multiple different cultivars vary quite a bit in appearance; the leaves can be bumpy, curly, or flat, and the color ranges from purple to green.

Kale plants have green or purple leaves, and the central leaves do not form a head, as with headed cabbage. The foliage and centers can be white, red, pink, lavender, yellow green or creamy white.
