A splendid Cabbage-like plant growing to 2 ft. or more across, with closely set leaves with thick, white, fleshy ribs forming a loose kind of head. The leaves and head are very tender to eat, and the midribs, said to have a distinct and agreeable flavour, cooked like Seakale. It withstands frost well – indeed it helps to develop the flavour – but it is probably best grown like a half-hardy annual.
