Crambe Cordifolia ‘Colewort’

I love a plant with presence and the force is strong in this one! This is a huge statement plant. Colewort has statuesque elegance with a bit of garden whimsy. It has oversized cabbage-like foliage… think rhubarb meets giant cabbage. The foliage is unique and textural, but in June and July it erupts into a super-sized airy cloud of tiny white flowers. Colewort anchors a garden. It softens and adds romantic cottage texture. Give this girl some room to spread and she will shine in your garden… You’ll be glad you did. Giant cloud of small white flowers rises 5’ from a green leafed mound. Huge statement plant. Elegant and statuesque. Crambe Cordifolia is in the Brassica family and has edible young leaves that can be cooked and have a pleasant cabbage-like flavor. Older leaves can be tough and rubbery. The root can also be cooked. Flowers can be used as an edible garnish on plates 4-7’’H x 5’W, needs moist soil, Sun, Hardy Perennial.
