This plant has a mild fragrance
This Asian variety of brassica is a cross between Tatsoi & Mizuna bred by Frank Morton. It has spoon leaves that have the frilled look of Mizuna (and it's resistance to bolting) but the rosette habit of Tatsoi. It's leaves have a subtle flavour and like both parents it is a useful crop for autumn sowing.
Brassicas are also prone to viruses and grazing by garden mammals, such as rabbits and deer.
They can be harvested in 45 to 50 days. Either take single leaves or pull whole plants.
With high levels of Vitamin C, calcium, potassium & folic acid they are a useful addition to salads or cooked often in salads.
These tasty leaves can be sown outdoors in September and under-cover over winter
Successional sow small batches on a sunny windowsill or in a heated propagator, ready to plant out later in the month.
