About Red Rubine
Red Rubine is an open-pollinated red Brussels sprout with purple-red coloration and somewhat looser, smaller sprouts than many green hybrids. It is grown as much for color and novelty as for yield.
Growing Red Rubine Brussels Sprout
Expect slower growth and lower total production than standard green hybrids. Cool weather deepens the color, and sprouts should be harvested while still tight and firm.
