Product Description

Chinese Cabbage Seeds - Kogane. Heirloom, Non-GMO. Brassica rapa var pekinensis. 5-7 days microgreens, 70-80 days to maturity. Cool season annual. Kogane means gold in Japanese. When mature, the loose head, fluffy head type, can weigh up to 8 lbs and has a yellow core surrounded by crumpled green outer leaves. It has good flavor and is popular for pickling and cooking. Creates a nice contrast with darker greens for microgreens and baby leaf. Best grown in mild climates. Chinese cabbage prefers cool temperatures for its main growing season. This variety grows well in mild climate areas in full sun. Prepare fertile, well-drained soil. Sow seeds in spring. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Exposure to frost or prolonged temperatures below 50°F may result in bolting. Note: Chinese Cabbage requires vernalization. Bud differentiation and bolting results from low temperatures of 41°F for a week or 50°F for two weeks. For spring harvest, transplant seedlings with 5-7 true leaves raised at 73-75°F during the day and over 53°F at night. Providing plants with adequate water and fertilizer after transplanting will promote faster growth. Used in stir-fry, sukiyaki, yosenabe, ohitashi, tsukemono (pickling), and salad. ~8000seeds per ounce.
