Wild cabbage (Brassica oloracea)
Native to coastal southern and western Europeoften growing on maritime cliffs, usually limestone or chalk. It is evergreen and often perennial, with some plants reported living up to 20 years (though most plants are biennial and others live only three or four years). Fortunately, however, it also grows well in most gardens and is an unfussy and tough plant that needs little care and can be harvested and used much like perennial kales.
