Chinese Cabbage Hybrid
Brassica rapa Pekinensis group
This delightful leafy green has chartreuse foliage. They're a light/bright green color and almost lettuce-like in texture and flavor. Tokyo Bekana's tender ruffled leaves work perfectly to bulk up a salad when the lettuce is too bitter from warmer temperatures. stems are crunchy and juicy - great in stir-fry.

“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! 😂🐰”
