It is sometimes called _Megasea ciliata_, but there is a large-leaved species, commonly called _S. ciliata_, which is very distinct from this one, and it is all the more important that they should not be confounded with each other, as _S. ciliata_ is not very hardy, whilst this is perfectly so, being also one of our finest herbaceous perennials. keywords: appearance; autumn; bloom; calyx; colour; cut; dark; fig; fine; flowering; flowering period; flowers; foliage; form; garden; genus; green; grow; habit; half; having; illustration; june; leaf; leaves; light; like; little; loam; nat; ord; parts; perennial; period; plant; purple; rockwork; roots; round; season; size; soil; species; specimens; spring; stalks; state; stems; stout; subject; summer; time; varieties; variety; way; white; winter; years; yellow cache: 18913.txt plain text: 18913.txt item: #12 of 121 id: 19006 author: Gregory, James John Howard title: Cabbages and Cauliflowers: How to Grow Them A Practical Treatise, Giving Full Details On Every Point, Including Keeping And Marketing The Crop date: None words: 24635 flesch: 70 summary: ~Pancalier~ is characterized by very coarsely blistered leaves of the darkest-green color; the heads usually gather together, being the only exception I know of to the rule that cabbage heads are made up of overlapping leaves, wrapped closely together.
