I grow 3 Crambes, cordifolia, maritima, and tartarica. I guess cordifolia
is the big one; mine isn't big yet. Tartarica, when it's blooming, forms
a mound of little white flowers, no more than 3 ft. tall. Maritima (for
me, anyway) is smaller than tartarica. The leaves are thick, smooth,
gray-green and cabbage-like. I don't think mine has ever bloomed, now
that I think about it, but the plant itself isnt' very tall, a foot or so,
although the leaves are big.
