10365769187639|Crambe maritima|Sea kale|
A bold, low-growing perennial with broad, glaucous foliage that spreads outward to form a substantial rosette. In early summer, dense heads of sweetly scented white flowers rise above the leaves, giving the plant a surprisingly refined presence despite its coarse texture. Native to sandy coastal habitats, Crambe maritima is well suited to open, sunny sites with excellent drainage, where its foliage remains a defining feature throughout the season.
