It grows in coarse granular sand and gravel beaches just behind the high level of tide. The protected species, Sea Kale is considered to be the type of cabbage and has strong, undulating leaves that can tolerate a large exposure to salt and wind. The leaves are blue and green and covered with wax, which protects them from the elements, and in the summer white flowers may appear on the plant. The seeds consist of pods that can be transported to other places in the water. The cultivation of sea kale is not so difficult because the seeds will grow in a mixture of soil and sand in a pot. The seeds also germinate relatively quickly in sunny areas and gain perennials that can take up to several decades. It is tailored to the Blanlan leafs.
