A stunning open-pollinated European HEIRLOOM with gorgeous, deep purple-red, 1 to 2-inch sprouts on 3-foot tall plants. Packed with antioxidants, flavor is more delicate, yet nuttier than standard green types.The beautiful color, retained when cooked, deepens with the first light frost, and further intensifies after a hard frost. Extremely heat and cold tolerant, harvest September through January!
