Description

Brassica oleracea alboglabra

Gailan is also known as “Chinese broccoli”. It is an annual, growing to about 40cm tall. The plants have thick flat leaves and thick stems. It is similar in taste to regular broccoli but a bit more bitter and, at the same time, a bit sweeter. Succession so every 2 to 3 weeks for a longer harvest. All brassicas are gross feeders and need a rich, well-drained soil. Feed every two weeks with a liquid, organic fertiliser.
