How long does mizuna take to grow?
Mizuna is quick, with baby leaves ready in about 21 days and full heads in 40 days. It is one of the easiest Asian greens for beginners.
When should I sow mizuna seeds?
Sow in early spring and again in late summer for fall. Mizuna handles cool weather and light frost well, and it is more bolt-resistant than many mustards.
What does mizuna taste like and how is it used?
Mizuna has a mild, slightly peppery mustard flavor. Its feathery leaves are great raw in salads and stir-fries, or lightly wilted into soups and pasta.
How far apart should I space mizuna?
For full heads, thin to 8 to 12 inches apart. For cut-and-come-again baby leaves, sow thickly in a band and trim as needed.
Can I grow mizuna in a container?
Yes. Mizuna grows well in a shallow container or window box at least 6 inches deep, making it ideal for baby-leaf harvests on a patio or balcony.
How many seeds are in this mizuna packet?
This packet contains about 500 heirloom, non-GMO seeds, enough for several rounds of baby-leaf or full-head plantings.
Is mizuna spicy?
It has a mild, peppery mustard flavor, much gentler than arugula or hot mustard greens.
Can I harvest it more than once?
Yes. Mizuna is a cut-and-come-again green; snip outer leaves and it will regrow for multiple harvests.
