This spinach mustard hybrid is an excellent choice for baby leaf greens. It can also be used for micro-greens. The leaf coloring is distinct— purplish- red on the top and green with red veins underneath. The tender leaves are round and relatively flat, growing uniformly from bright green upright stems. This variety tolerates heat and will retain its lovely deep color.
