Brassica juncea
CABBAGE-GREEN WAVE-MUSTARD is a curled and very frilly medium size cabbage whose green leaves stay tender to a good size. Upright plants reach 60 cm in height. Stands long in the field, tolerates more heat than most, bolts very late & is also very cold-hardy. Flavour is sharp, nice and spicy! A high-yielding type that makes a good crop in home or market gardens & makes choice micro-greens. A favorite baby leaf variety. When mature this variety produces large upright plants with bright green, finely cut & deeply fringed leaves with a hot spicy flavor that mellows when cooked. Mustard greens are a fast growing, cold weather annual. An excellent product and the slowest to bolt, stand 2 to 4 weeks longer than other varieties.
Direct sow 6 weeks before the last frost, or start under protection 3 weeks before that. Start 4 months before the first frost for autumn/winter crops. Cabbage likes fertile soil and steady moisture.
