Plant of the Day
Friday 26 March 2021
The new leaves of the large herbaceous perennial Crambe maritima (sea kale, sea cabbage,sea colewort) are just starting to emerge. The leaves will reach up to 75cm, forming a clump of large, wavy blue-green leaves with clouds of small white flowers in early summer. The fibres from last year’s petioles (leaf stalks) appear to have created their own woven textile on the soil surface.
