Try www.herbs-to-use.com which is Shipards Herb Farm. If anyone can find it, they can.

I heard that Isabel sadly passed away last month. So I'm unsure as to the situation with the business. Good luck with your search.

g'day denise,

shiphards say they have no knowledge of the plant, might need someone with friend/family in england to procure some seeds for us?

i like my silver beet and not having to replant each year would be a bonus

seasons greetings and a happy new year

That is a type of silverbeet - the Asturian is a cabbage. Different family. You can see a pic of it here:

I grow Southern European spinach (a type of silverbeet) which is very similiar to lucullus. Nice, but the Asturian sounds interesting.

Just realised - the pic on my avatar is of SE spinach!

If it is a true brassica how would it do in the summer heat? I wonder if the op has tried ethiopian cabbage.
