Daubenton’s Variegated Perennial Kale is a rare and beautiful variety of branching kale with thick, slightly crinkled green leaves edged in creamy white. It forms a bushy, multi-stemmed plant that grows larger each season and continues producing tender leaves without ever going to seed. Its ornamental appeal makes it equally suited to edible borders and display beds.
The leaves are mild and cabbage-like, ideal for steaming, stir-frying, soups, or raw in salads when young. Harvest from the outside in a cut-and-come-again fashion, and the plant will continue to thrive and regrow throughout the year, even through frosts in many climates.
Unlike annual brassicas, Daubenton’s kale doesn’t flower or bolt under normal conditions, making it one of the most reliable sources of leafy greens in a low-maintenance, perennial food garden. Rare, productive, and visually striking, this is a true standout among permaculture plants and can be propagated from stem cuttings.

My Daubenton kale is the best plant I’ve ever bought through the post. It was a good size and had lots of leaves on it. My plant is already growing very quickly! Arrived promptly and in excellent condition.
