Dark red leaves with green undersides define this hybrid pak choi. Petioles are light green when fully mature. It tastes great. Add color to a microgreens blend, eat mature leaves, or let this semi-headind variety form a full head. This plant is rich in iron, phosphorous, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and vitamin K. Compounds such as iron and zinc are known to help to boost collagen production. It is also good for bone structure and strength.
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.

“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! 😂🐰”
