Pak Choi - Extra Dwarf seeds

Pak Choi - Extra Dwarf - 100 seeds

Brassica rapa chinensis

Far smaller than baby pak choi, this specialty variety is a fast-growing type with glossy dark green leaves and short white petioles. Comparable to Chinese Pak Choi and Dwarf Pak Choi varieties but more condensed in size, it can be cultivated all year round in sub-tropical climates. For the best results, ensure that the soil is well-aerated and nutrient-rich before sowing seeds from spring through early summer or late summer to early autumn. Be sure to keep your plants moistened regularly while fertilising them too!

Crops should be grown in temperatures of at least 15oC to thrive and reach their peak potential. Exposure to frosty conditions or lengthy periods below 10oC could lead to bolting; therefore, it's best practice to apply mulch around your plants. Harvest when they're approximately 5-8cm tall, then you can indulge by using them whole steamed, stir-fried, boiled, braised, or added as a garnish for a soup dish!

Commonly referred to as Ang Chaithao, Baby Bok Choy, Bai Cai, Bok Choy, Cai Be Trang and more; this vegetable is also known by its many other aliases - Chinese Mustard, Celery Mustard or even Pecal. It's easy to see why it has so many names, too: Qing Cai, Samho and Petsay are just a few of the twelve unique titles given to this delightful green delicacy!

Sow in early spring, late summer, and autumn at 5mm deep. Space apart 30cm. Emerge in 7-10 days at 10-24oC. Harvest in 30 days.
