Lovely in the landscape, as it is very eye catching, and the stems keep their colors even after light cooking, and have a rich, crisp, peppery bite!! Ht. 18 in. and spreads about 16 in.

Love, love, love them. Another plant that does well in my garden. Can pick them from July to end of August. I just clean them, blanch them for 1 or 2 minutes, squeeze out excess water, bag and throw them in my freezer. I use them as a side in my meals. I just steam them for a few minutes, light coating of butter, sprinkle them with salt & pepper and delicious! I have a few small baggies of them in my freezer. Trying to make them last until the next batch is ready is definitely going to be a challenge.
