Last night’s greens included all my 16 Hostas, Allium scorodoprasum (sand leek / bendelløk) scapes; broccolis from sea kale (strandkål), ornamental sea kale (Crambe cordifolia) and Turkish rocket (Bunias orientalis); and flower buds of two daylilies Hemerocallis lilioasphodelus and Hemerocallis dumortieri!
An old stone wall collapsed below the house in the winter on top of one of my Crambe cordifolia (ornamental sea kale / buskstrandkål) plants….well, it bounced back through the rubble bigger and better…here in full flower!
I found 4 plants of one of my favourite and most productive perennial vegetables, Crambe cordifolia (Heartleaf Crambe / buskstrandkål) for sale at 70% off the normal price of kr 150 in a garden centre (Hageland, Lade) yesterday!! I already have it, but want more varieties and I have plans for the others next year! I’ve never seen this for sale in Norway before…
This is one of the 80 in my book Around the World in 80 plants!
Imported from Denmark (www.majland.dk)
Spring blanched shoots
Crambe cordifolia in full flower
Perennial vegetables, Edimentals (plants that are edible and ornamental) and other goings on in The Edible Garden
