Asian Greens Seeds – Mizuna, Red Streaked

Brassica rapa

Frilly red and green mottled leaves are a stand-out in the garden and on the plate. This more colorful and delicately-shaped variety of mizuna (also known as Japanese Mustard), adds a little flair to any salad or stir fry, with the same spicy kick as its green-leaved cousin.

Red Streaked Mizuna can be direct-seeded in early spring or late summer, and takes about 40 days to mature. It prefers full sun, but can be grown in partial shade. Midsummer plantings will bolt quickly in heat. Harvest by clipping leaves above the growth point (about an inch above the soil) for cut-and-come-again production.
