Brassica oleracea var. ramosa ‘D'Aubenton Panaché’ (v)
Synonym: Brassica oleracea L.
Description:
An old cultivated form of perennial kale, associated with France and traditionally grown for its edible leaves. It belongs to the diverse Brassica oleracea group from which many familiar vegetables were developed through selective breeding. Unlike annual or biennial kales, it can persist for several years and is commonly propagated from cuttings, as it rarely flowers or produces seed. It forms a bushy plant with large, waxy green leaves that can be harvested throughout the year.
