Gifted to Mary Alice in 2009 by Linda Dowling, who received it from a friend who obtained it during a pilgrimage from France to Spain. Very sturdy, very cold hardy plant. Over wintered plants reached 5ft in height! Similar to collards, yet distinctly different (larger, thicker leaves and stem). Famous for Caldo Verde soup.
