This versatile Japanese green is easy-to-grow and is tolerant to cold. It produces attractive, upright, bright green leaves with a mild, spicy flavor. Enjoy raw, steamed or cooked and serve alone or mixed with other greens.
When and Where to Plant: Select sunny location and sow seed as soon as the ground can be worked. Repeat at 3 week intervals, timing last sowing to mature before onset of hot weather. For best results, loosen soil with spade or fork, fertilize and smooth with rake. Firm soil over seed. In mild winter areas, plant again in late summer or early fall.
Care: Keep soil moist, weed free and feed every 4-6 weeks.
Harvesting: Pick individual tender leaves before fully grown. Harvest before onset of hot weather. Cool weather and frost sweeten flavor.
