What customers say
Gardeners highly favor High Mowing Organic Seeds' Tat Soi for its exceptional reliability and culinary versatility. The core strength is its near perfect germination rate across various growing methods, ensuring a strong start.

Know before you buy
You can harvest Tat Soi as baby greens in as little as 21 days. If you prefer full-sized bunches, expect to wait about 45 days.
While Tat Soi is a versatile green, this specific variety is not recommended for container gardening. It performs best when planted directly in the ground with proper row spacing.
Yes, this variety is heat tolerant, making it a reliable choice for both spring and summer planting seasons. It maintains its quality even as temperatures rise.
For full-sized plants, you should thin your seedlings to 6 inches apart within the row. If you are transplanting, space them 8 to 16 inches apart to allow the rosettes to develop fully.
Tat Soi has a mild, tender flavor that works well raw in baby leaf salads. When grown to full size, the spoon-shaped leaves and crisp white stems are excellent for stir-fries or light sautés.
