Botanical Name
Brassica rapa
A Chinese specialty also known as purple choy sum. A quick and easy-to-grow Asian green producing lots of long, pencil-thin, red-purple flower stems. Use the leaf, flower buds and stems. A pleasing, mild mustard taste to use raw in salads or lightly cooked in stir-fries. Cold hardy, the purple colour intensifies as the temperature drops. Likes any fertile soil with added organic matter. Pick stems before flowering for continuous use. Treated seed (thiram). About 200 seeds.
