Sea Kale 'Lily White'

A perennial of the brassica family, seakale grows 60cm high. Most often grown for the edible shoots, which are usually blanched for several weeks before harvesting (Lily White is a variety whose stems blanch well).

The young leaves, though, are also edible and make a good cooked vegetable, and the excellent young flowering shoots are cooked and used like sprouting broccoli.

Frothy clouds of small, sweet, honey-scented white flowers fill your garden with a fragrance-bomb.

Can be used as a ground cover plant. Grow in most soils in sun or part shade. Exceptionally drought-tolerant once established.
