This widely grown Asian green, also called bok choy, has smooth green leaves and thick white leaf stalks. It is one of the most popular Asian vegetables and a main ingredient in chow mein and stir-fries.
Our favorite way to plant pak choi-
-when soil temperature is in the 60's, for each row, draw a line in the soil with your finger, 1/2 to 3/4 inches deep, the entire length of the row. Sprinkle in the seeds so they fall about 1/2 to 2 inches apart. Then cover and pat the soil. As the sprouts grow, harvest out entire baby plants, so that none are crowding eachother. It will be approximately every other plant per week until you achieve proper plant spacing of 9-12 inches apart. At that time, let them grow into their full pak choi heads. This way, you get to eat baby pak choi almost the entire time the plants are growing, instead of waiting for individual plants to get there full size.

“All items arrived quickly and well packaged. I usually expect to have one or two live items out of a batch, but they are all thriving. I couldn’t be happier!”

“My live plants were packed like they belonged in Ft Knox. 😂 They really were packed beautifully. Only one plant, a bee balm, is questionable but signs that it will recover are happening. All in all I am thrilled with my plants and seeds. Some of my coreopsis have already sprouted!”

“I’ve ordered seeds from Whitwam Organics 3 or 4 times now. I love the simple packaging, clear planting guidelines, and variety they offer. Great germination rates!! The bare root plants I’ve ordered have come healthy, so healthy that the wild rabbits always approve of my menu upgrades! 😂🐰”
