Flowering Chinese Cabbage Seeds - Shuka - Autumn Torch - Hybrid

Chinese cabbage prefers cool temperatures for its main growing season. This variety is a fall to winter harvest type but can be sown in spring. Prepare fertile, well-drained soil. Sow seeds in spring after last frost or late summer/early fall in a sunny location. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Exposure to frost or prolonged temperatures below 50°F may result in bolting. Note: Chinese Cabbage requires vernalization. Bud differentiation and bolting results from low temperatures of 41°F for a week or 50°F for two weeks. For spring harvest, transplant seedlings with 5-7 true leaves raised at 73-75°F during the day and over 53°F at night. Providing plants with adequate water and fertilizer after transplanting will promote faster growth. Used in sukiyaki, yosenabe, ohitashi, stir-fries, pickling and salad.
