Cultivation: Chinese cabbage prefers cool and mild temperatures for its main growing season. This variety is a fall to winter harvest type but can be sown in spring. Prepare fertile, well-drained soil. Sow seeds in spring after last frost or late summer/early fall in a sunny location. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Exposure to frost or prolonged temperatures below 50°F may result in bolting.
