Big architectural greens
by Rachel
These grew huge, 5 feet tall and thick stems. Lots and lots of leaves that are still going, had to survive our super hot summers (often over 100F), and still happy heading into winter
A Keeper!

Sturdy, hearty and great growing! Did well even in partial shade. Definitely will be growing it again next year!
She's a keeper!

I planted this last spring in a clay pot and it is still growing strong. Once the plant reached its roots out the drain hole and into the soil, it created huge leaves!! The main stalk went from 1" to 2" + in diameter and the largest leaves were over a foot long and so tasty.
