What customers say
Organic gardeners highly favor this Pac Choy, consistently praising its exceptional germination rates. The core appeal centers on the mature plant quality: stems are described as remarkably tender, sweet, and crisp, often surpassing store-bought options. Customers appreciate the vigorous growth and reliable yield when planted during cool weather. The organic certification strongly aligns with sustainable gardening values. A key consideration is the variety's sensitivity to heat, which can cause quick bolting and bitterness if temperatures rise unexpectedly. Overall, this is viewed as a high-quality, dependable staple for those seeking premium organic greens, justifying the investment.
Know before you buy
Yes, this variety is excellent for baby leaf production. You can begin harvesting as early as 25 days after planting, making it a great choice for quick-turnaround salad mixes.
The open growth habit makes the plant easier to harvest and clean compared to tighter, head-forming varieties. It also allows for better airflow, which can help reduce the risk of moisture-related issues in the garden.
To harvest using this method, simply trim the outer leaves while leaving the center of the plant intact. This allows the plant to continue producing new growth, providing you with a steady supply of greens over a longer period.
While it thrives in full sun, this Pac Choy is versatile enough to grow in partial sun as well. If you live in a very hot climate, partial shade can actually help prevent the plant from bolting too quickly.
No, these are raw, organic, open-pollinated seeds. They have not been chemically treated or coated, ensuring they are suitable for organic gardening practices.
For full-size plants, you should thin your seedlings to approximately 6 inches apart. This spacing provides enough room for the plants to develop their signature thick stems and lush foliage.
