Know before you buy
Bolting is when a plant prematurely produces a flower stalk, which often makes the leaves taste bitter. Being slow to bolt means this variety stays in its leafy, harvestable stage longer, giving you a more extended window to enjoy your greens.
Yes, these are excellent for fall planting. Because they are cold-tolerant, they can handle the cooling temperatures of late season gardening, often resulting in a sweeter flavor after the first light frost.
These seeds thrive in full sun, which means they need at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight per day to grow to their full potential.
These are heirloom, untreated loose seeds. As an heirloom variety, they are open-pollinated, meaning you can save the seeds from your harvest to replant in future seasons.
Southern Giant Curled mustard greens grow into large, leafy plants. You should space them about 8 to 12 inches apart to ensure they have enough airflow and room to develop their signature curled leaves.
