CHINESE CABBAGE – Ching-Chiang
(400 seeds)
$4.15
A must-have plant for your Asian-style food
Out of stock
More like a pak choi than the Chinese cabbage most westerners know, this fast grower produces tasty leaves with thickened stems with relatively few strings. Be quick off the mark with harvesting as the plants are known to bolt quickly on reaching maturity. Cute, stocky and tasty, this traditional Asian green is very fast growing. Avoid growing it during the hottest part of the year. Authentic Asian greens will make your stir-fries better than ever.

How to Sow
Prepare soil with a lot of compost and organic matter prior to sowing. Chinese Cabbages can be started in trays but direct sowing followed by thinning is preferable. The plants will grow best in full sun in temperatures between 15 – 24C. Heat tolerant, but might bolt in extreme heat.
How to Harvest
Your stocky little greens should be ready within 30 to 40 days. They’ll be about 15cm tall when you pick them. If your plants start bolting, it’s usually because you’ve picked too late, so keep an eye on them!
