Description
Brassica oleracea Daubenton is a perennial cabbage that does not form a head and is grown for its young shoots with a taste similar to broccoli. Hardy and not very sensitive to cabbage white butterflies and flea beetles, this cabbage is ideal for permaculture and can be grown in the vegetable garden for several years. Plant it in April-May and harvest the leaves from September to May.
Like other cabbages, Brassica oleracea Daubenton belongs to the Brassicaceae family (formerly Cruciferae). It has a bushy habit over time and reaches a height of 90 cm (35in). It is a perennial and hardy plant that can be grown in the vegetable garden for several years, around 5 to 7 years. The perennial cabbage does not form a head but produces lateral shoots. These young shoots have a taste similar to broccoli and can be eaten raw or cooked. They can be cooked in various ways: gratins, soups, stuffed, in slow-cooked dishes or in salads. In the vegetable garden, plant the perennial cabbage near mint or lettuce and keep it away from alliums and other cabbages. One remarkable advantage: it is not very sensitive to cabbage white butterflies and flea beetles.
Harvest: from the 2nd year onwards, pick the shoots growing on the stems as needed, from September to May. However, the leaves are most tender in spring. Harvest regularly to promote a compact habit and the production of new leaves.
Storage: consume the leaves quickly after harvest. However, you can store them in the refrigerator for a few days.
Gardener's tip: to limit watering, we recommend mulching the soil with thin successive layers of grass clippings, preferably mixed with dead leaves. This protection, which keeps the soil moist, also limits weed growth.

Planting and care
Brassica oleracea Daubenton thrives in rich, moist, and well-drained soil. It prefers a sunny location. Add well-rotted compost in the previous autumn, by scratching it into the soil to a depth of 5 cm (2in), after loosening the soil.
Planting takes place in spring, in April-May.
Dig a hole (3 times the volume of the root ball), place the root ball in it, and cover with soil. Firmly press down and water to keep the soil moist. Space the plants 1 m (3ft) apart in all directions. Regularly water at the base without excess. Apply mulch around the base of the plants. Add compost on the surface every year in autumn. Prune them in winter.
Brassica oleracea Daubenton naturally propagates through layering. You can also take cuttings in summer, which may be useful if the winter is harsh.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
