CN Mizuna (600) 1.5g Vegetable Seeds

Packet Content (approx.): 600 (1.5g)

Mizuna is one of those strange oriental vegetables which arrived in the West in the last 20 years or so. The name for this leafy green comes from the Japanese mizu, for “water,” and nu, for “mustard plant.” Mizuna greens are decorative, adaptable, and very vigorous and cold tolerant and have a very long growing season.

Mizuna can be grown to use either as mature plants or as a seedling crop. The first cut of seedlings can sometimes be made two or three weeks after sowing. Where mature plants are grown, forming clumps about 22cm (9") high, keep cutting regularly to produce a continuous crop of small young leaves. Nutritionally Mizuna is an excellent source of antioxidants, folic acid, and vitamins A and C.

We find Mizuna to be an extremely reliable and very prolific salad crop. It looks rather like Rocket with a much milder taste and bolt resistant. Fantastic salad filler.

CN Mizuna is one of the most popular and easily grown oriental greens species. Most Mizuna is grown at high density as a babyleaf item, Mizuna can also be used to grown at wide spacing for mature heads.
