Fothergill's Salad Leaves Mizuna Seeds

Details:

• Botanical Name: Brassica rapa, a highly reliable and traditional Japanese salad green.
• Distinctive Appearance: Forms an attractive, uniform rosette of finely cut, feathery, bright green leaves that add a gourmet touch to any dish.
• Versatile Harvesting: Enjoy absolute flexibility in the kitchen; harvest a few leaves at a time as delicate baby greens, pick them as mature structural leaves, or harvest the sweet, crunchy flowering shoots which are also fully edible.
• Extended Season: Highly resilient and slow to bolt, ensuring a dependable, long-lasting supply of fresh greens through changing weather.
• Ideal for Small Plots: Grows beautifully in tight spaces, making it an exceptional choice for kitchen garden beds, raised planters, patio containers, and window boxes.

Care Instructions:

• Sowing Location: Sow seeds directly outdoors into finely raked, weed-free, and fertile soil from spring through to early autumn. For a convenient patio crop, scatter the seeds thinly across the surface of containers filled with high-quality compost.
• Watering Requirements: Maintain regular and even watering to keep the soil or compost consistently moist, which encourages fast, succulent leaf growth and prevents early flowering.
• Harvesting Advice: Use as a 'cut-and-come-again' crop by snipping individual outer leaves as required for fresh salads, or allow the plant to mature fully to harvest the complete rosette for healthy, crisp stir-fries.
