    • Another quick- and easy-growing Asian Green, Pak choi has a tangy-sweet yet delicate flavor with a big crunch. It's pretty little plants have a distinctive vase shape with attractive leaves that can be used in a variety of ways, the most popular of which is barely cooked in stir-fries. To harvest with scissors as baby salad greens when 2" to 3" tall, sow Pak choi thickly. Or, for cooking, harvest by cutting at soil level when less than 6" tall. Heat-tolerant, Pak choi also thrives as a cool weather crop. Deer resistant.

      Pak choi Sowing Instructions
      Planting Depth      : ¼”-1/2"
      Row Spacing: 12”
      Seed Spacing:2”-3”
      Days to Germination: 5-10 days
      Germination Temperature: 70°-75°F

      Our versatile, easy and popular Asian Greens thrive in cool temperatures, tolerating mild frost. Sow when the danger of heavy frost has passed. Asian Greens appreciate soil with a moderate amount of organic matter dug in. Keep the soil evenly moist for a mild, sweet taste. When growing individuals, thin them to 8" to 10" apart. For ‘baby leaf’ harvesting, lightly broadcast seed, sprinkle with soil and water lightly. As the plants grow to about 3" tall, give them a “haircut” for salads and stir-fries. Feed regularly to enjoy one or two more cuttings from the initial sowing. In cool summer areas, seed at 10 to 14 day intervals, ensuring a steady harvest of fresh, vitamin-rich greens. Hot weather causes hot and/or bitter flavor and bolting. Your last sowing may be toward the end of summer for fall harvest. Protect with shade cloth at the hottest part of summer days if necessary.
