Kale Daubenton

Kale Daubenton (Brassica oleracea, Cottager's Kale, Hungry gap kale) is a unique perennial form of the well-known vegetable plant. This variety has recently been brought back into cultivation and is highly sought after for its reliable growth and delicious taste. Unlike traditional kale plants, Kale Daubenton has a dwarf, bushy habit that makes it perfect for smaller gardens or growing in pots. Its leaves have slightly ruffled edges and whitish veins, giving it a distinct appearance.

  • Height: Easily maintained to 90cm
  • Spread: Easily maintained to 50cm
  • Foliage Colour: Green with white veining
  • Soil Type: Moist, well drained, sandy, loam, chalk
  • Position: Full Sun - Semi Shade
  • Hardiness: Fully Hardy once established, H7 (-15 and below)
  • Type: Evergreen

At Champion Plants, we take great care in packaging and shipping our plants. We remove many of the leaves before packing to reduce the risk of damage during transit and to limit any pests that may be present. Our plants are grown using biological controls, so there may be some holes in the leaves, but rest assured that they will quickly produce new leaves upon arrival.

This unique kale plant can easily reach a height of 90cm and a spread of 50cm. Its foliage is a vibrant green with white veining, adding a pop of colour to your garden. It thrives in moist, well-drained soil and can be grown in full sun to semi-shade. Once established, it is fully hardy (H7) and can withstand temperatures as low as -15 degrees.

Choose from a 9cm pot or 1 litre pot when ordering, and our plants will quickly establish themselves in your garden. As an edible perennial, Kale Daubenton is a favorite among vegetable gardeners for its ability to produce during the 'Hungry Gap' - a difficult period in the spring when there is a shortage of fresh produce. Its evergreen nature means it can be harvested all year round and will quickly regrow after each harvest. Our plants are grown in peat-free compost, making them a sustainable and eco-friendly choice for your garden.

Don't miss out on this unique and highly sought after variety of kale. Order your Kale Daubenton from Champion Plants today and enjoy fresh, delicious produce all year round.
