Eternal mash (Brassica oleracea var. acephala) in P9 pot
Evergreen kale is a hardy, perennial kale that can be harvested year after year. This productive plant doesn't produce heads, but it delivers a continuous harvest of tender, dark green leaves with a mild cabbage flavor. Ideal for stews, soups, stir-fries, or as a nutritious leafy green from your own garden, almost year-round.
Plant in a sunny to partially shaded spot in fertile, well-drained soil. Always harvest the lower leaves so the plant continues to grow and form new leaves. Evergreen is winter-hardy, easy to maintain, and a sustainable choice for the vegetable garden or food forest.
Organic/non-organic
This planting material comes from a small-scale grower without an official organic certificate. But don't worry, we're certain it's pesticide-free.
Stronger plants, honest photos
Our plants are grown outdoors and are completely winter-hardy. They aren't young greenhouse plants, but stronger, perennials that have been growing for a while and therefore have a well-developed root system. By growing in wind, rain, and temperature fluctuations, they are better hardened, more robust, and adapt more quickly after planting than herbs grown in a warm greenhouse this year. Conservatory plants often look greener and fuller, but are younger and less resilient.
Because our plants follow the natural rhythm of the seasons, they can look bare or less attractive in winter. Many perennials die back (partially) above ground and store their energy underground. Sometimes the pot may seem empty, but don't worry: the strong roots are alive and will ensure the plant sprouts vigorously again in spring.
The photos show what the plants look like in winter, so you get a fair idea of what you'll receive if you order in the spring.
