I blot this colewort atWhite Flower Farm‘s display gardens in Litchfield , Connecticut , a couple of years ago and fall deucedly in love . Colewort ( Crambe cordifolia , USDA Hardiness zone 6 - 9 ) grows up to 8 ft tall and 5 base wide and flaunts billowing cloud of little blank flower starting in late spring .
