Mizuna (Japanese Mustard Green) ~ mild fresh crisp

Brassica japonica

This vigorous grower, produces numerous stalks of dark green deeply indented feathery leaves and is worthy of being grown purely as a decorative plant.

A variety peculiar to Japan, often growing to 25cm in circumference at the base, the foliage has a mild fresh crisp taste not at all pungent, and can be used in all types of salads or cooked with meat.

The Japanese are fond of the leaves pickled.

Highly resistant to cold and moist soil conditions and grown extensively during the winter months in Japan.

Not only is it good to eat, it's also quite decorative, with glossy, serrated, dark green leaves and narrow white stalks, looking good in flower beds and as edging.

It's vigorous, adaptable and easy to grow in most soils.

Excellent for the container gardener as side leaves can be harvested after only 3 weeks.

The major harvest should be completed in 35 days.

The thinnings are also a delicacy.
