A beautiful, ruffled green kale with purple stems that looks and cooks like an oleraceae curly kale but has all the grower benefits of a napus kale. Bred by Megan Allen at Care of the Earth Community Farm from a selection of “Gulag Stars,” a mix of napus kales that have been crossed with B.rapa that were selected and released by Adaptive Seeds. Mira Red-Stem is very uniform and makes beautiful bunches. For harvesting all winter, row cover is recommended. Flavor is similar to “Meadowlark” (an oleraceae kale). Mira Red-Stem does not become overly sweet in cold weather. 55 days. Photo courtesy of Common Wealth Seed Growers.
Care: Plant 20-30″ apart in rows 24-36″ apart in full sun, cool moist soil.
