Chinese Cabbage Seeds - China Express - Hybrid.Brassica rapa var pekinensis. 62 days to maturity. NonGMO. Cool season annual. China Express is an early variety that is widely adaptable and utilized variety. This variety has tipburn and bolting tolerance. The barrel shaped heads are light green color and medium-sized. Heads are well wrapped and uniform. This variety is bred for spring to early summer harvest in areas where bolting is a problem. It also grows well as a late summer to early winter crop where no frost occurs. Timing on spring and fall plantings should be trialed as changing (increasing or decreasing) daylength can be a trigger for bolting. Prepare fertile well drained soil. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Exposing plants 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. ~840 seeds an ounce.
