Description

This purple mizuna does better in the late spring and summer, when it's slower to bolt than the green, and is lovely in the winter, when the purple leaves are at their richest.

Please note, illustrated packets are being introduced gradually over the coming months, availability may vary.

Care Tips

Thin or space plants 10-15cm for cut-and-come-again, 20cm if you want large leaves. Keep moist. It may get infested with flea beetle, April-August leaving lots of tiny holes all over the leaves. Protect with a physical barrier of fleece from sowing.
