Mizuna – 200 Seeds

Mizuna is a Japanese mustard green with distinctive feathery leaves and a mild, sweet flavor. While commonly grown for commercial salad mixes, it can also be enjoyed cooked or pickled. Mizuna is low in calories but high in antioxidants and several important vitamins — especially A, C, and K.

Growing Mizuna

• Sow seeds two weeks before your last frost date.
• It is best to direct sow the seeds, but they can also be started indoors.
• Sow the seeds 1cm deep in damp seed compost or soil and cover lightly with fine sifted compost.
• Keep the soil moist and seeds will germinate in 3-5 days.
• Once germination has taken place, the plants can be thinned out.
• Grows best in sunny spots that receive three to four hours of direct sunlight a day.
• It is slow to bolt, but hot temperatures and long sunny days may accelerate the bolting process.
• Likes well-drained soil amended with rich organic matter.
• Keep the soil evenly moist for best growing results.
• Plant seeds every 2 weeks for a continuous harvest period.
• Can be grown in containers as well.
