De Russie is lightly bronzed and speckled with purplish-red. The vivid olive green, leafy heads often look like they just came in out of the rain. Their deliciously crisp, crunchy texture does not disappoint. They are slow to bolt and tolerate cold fairly well—not surprising as the name suggests an origin in Russia.
