Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information and other details are accurate and up to date. Information is provided as a general guide and may vary between batches, suppliers, individual plants or product revisions.

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

  • 100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
  • 140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
  • 5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

Description

The "Romanesco" cultivar of Brassica oleracea var. italica is a standout Heirloom variety with a striking chartreuse colour and a natural fractal pattern. The nutty flavour and firm texture add to its appeal. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, with well-drained soil, "Romanesco" can be grown in the ground, in pots, or in vegetable/herb gardens. Its unique appearance and taste can make it a garden centrepiece.

Harvesting "Romanesco" is best when the heads are firm and well-formed, typically around 75 to 100 days after planting. Cut the heads with some stem, using a sharp knife. Store the freshly harvested produce in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. The captivating appearance and rich taste of "Romanesco" make it a rewarding addition to both your garden and your plate.
