Also known as 'flowering pak choi', pick the young buds and leaves for best texture and flavour
Sowing Guide - Outdoors: Sow outdoors thinly where they are to crop, 1.5cm (½”) deep directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Sow from May for baby leaf, June onwards for full size plants. Allow 40cm (16”) between rows. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Keep well watered in dry spells. Harvest unthinned as baby leaves or thin to 25cm (10”) apart to produce mature plants. Regular sowings made every two to three weeks will ensure a continuous supply. For ‘baby leaf’ pick a few leaves from each plant from approx. 5cm (2”) high, they will regrow for up to 4 ‘cuts’.
Soil Type: Well dug, fertile soil
Hints & Tips: Leaves, stems, buds and flowers are all edible. Eat young leaves raw in salads, all parts are delicious steamed or stir-fried.
