The dark green, heavily savoyed leaves grow atop thick bunches of pale green petioles giving it a spinach-like appearance. In summer, the plant reaches nearly a foot in height. In winter, it grows in a rosette close to the ground. As with Tatsoi, individual leaves can be picked continuously for several weeks. Heat and cold tolerant. Excellent for microgreens and baby leaf production.

Cultivation: Prefers mild and cool temperatures. Prepare fertile, well drained soil. Sow seeds in spring after last frost or late summer/early fall. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Harvest young baby leaves for salad mix or harvest the whole plant when fully mature at 10-12" tall. For micro-greens, sow seeds in spring to summer in sandy soil in a bright but cool location. Broadcast seeds on soil and cover with a thin layer. Keep uniformly moist. Harvest by cutting when seedlings reach 3-4".
