Special Features:

Most Asian Greens are moderately hardy annuals and can be sown from early spring through midsummer. Asian greens are in the same family as mustards but tend to have a mild flavor and lack the spiciness that many mustards are known for. Asian greens include an assortment of species that can be grown for baby leaf or full size crops. Easy-to-grow Japanese green similar to Mizuna but with long, rounded leaves instead of serrated. Long white stems are borne in rosettes reaching 12” tall. Perfect lightly cooked and seasoned. Slow to bolt.
