Crambe cabbage (Crambe maritima)
Perennial cabbage, hardy in zone 4, productive and long-lasting.
Cloud cabbage is a perennial cabbage native to the Caucasus. It is very imposing, reaching up to 2m in height, that is to say about the size of an adult person. The leaves also impress with their size, which can reach up to 50 cm in diameter. Although a little tough, they are edible and complement salads in particular. Its name comes from its flowering; at the end of June and in July, thousands of small white flowers bloom simultaneously creating a veritable cloud. As if the sight weren't enchanting enough, these flowers give off a bewitching scent of honey. These flowers are also rich in nectar and attract many pollinators. The cloud cabbage lives about ten years, and usually flowers from the 2nd year. It won the Award of Garden Merit. of the Royal Horticultural Society.
