Also known as Chinese Broccoli. Possibly related to Calabrese, producing thick fleshy stems, baby leaf and edible white flowers. Grow in fertile, moist soils where it is one of the easiest flowering brassica to grow. Sow in rows or broadcast, thinning to 10-15cm apart for harvesting as young plants. For mature plants grow 25-35cm. Can be grown in containers to harvest as young plants only or use the baby leaf in salads. Sow throughout the growing season, spring to autumn, harvest June to December (will withstand slight frost)

Under glass nearly all the Oriental vegetables can be sown throughout most of the year, outdoors during the main growing season. All packets are supplied with germination instructions.
