Description
Chinese Cabbage Seeds - Mini Kisaku 50 - Hybrid. Non-GMO. Brassica rapa Pekinensis group. 50-55 days. Cool season annual. This small, early maturing variety is easier to handle than the large heads produced by other varieties. It weighs only 2-3 lbs when mature and has a yellow core that is very crisp, tender and delicious. Chinese cabbage prefers cool temperatures for its main growing season. Prepare fertile, well-drained soil. Sow seeds in spring after last frost in a sunny location. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Harvest when heads feel firm to the touch. Note: Chinese Cabbage requires vernalization. Bud differentiation and bolting results from low temperatures of 41?F for a week or 50?F for two weeks. For spring harvest, transplant seedlings with 5-7 true leaves raised at 73-75?F during the day and over 53?F at night. Providing plants with adequate water and fertilizer after transplanting will promote faster growth. Popular in Japanese soups and braised with meat in sukiyaki. Used in yosenabe, ohitashi, stir-fry, pickling and salad. About 11400 seeds/ounce.
