Crambe cordifolia often known as Colewort is a hardy, clump forming perennial which makes a handsome foliage plant for the back of a border or as a specimen, producing panicles of small white flowers which have a sweet scent.
This attractive perennial plant is hardy throughout most places in the UK withstanding temperatures down to -15°C (5°F) - may not withstand open/exposed sites in northern locations.
This herbaceous perennial forms a mound of long-stalked, puckered, bristly dark-green leaves to 35cm (14in) or more across. Flowers are carried on long stems and form a frothy mass similar to gypsophila but with a sweet scent.
