Description:
Strong-growing even invasive perennial, that in early spring produces large dense cauliflower-like inflorescences of small daisy flowered, yellowish-white flowers close to the ground. Later thrusting forth large mealy-green rounded leaves 60cm - 1m wide, on strong ribbed stems to 1.5m tall. Easily grown in full to part shade, can go wild in moistish rich soils, no fear as the Japanese have long used the stems and flowers as a vegetable.
