This beautiful hybrid has the spoon shaped leaves of tatsoi and a more upright habit that makes harvesting easier. The slightly rumpled leaves range in color from red-violet to dark purple and have a mild mustard flavor. A strong and vigorous producer, this variety is cold tolerant. Harvest from baby leaves for salads to full maturity. Prepare fertile, well-drained soil. Sow seeds in spring after last frost to early summer or late summer/early fall. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Optimum growing temperatures are in the 60s°F. Exposure to frost or prolonged temperatures below 50°F may result in bolting. Mulch fall crops to avoid premature bolting. Most vegetables leave having purple color is called "anthocyan" which is generally developed by lower temperature. Growing temperatures 50-60°F should be adequate to develop "anthocyan" after the seeds have germinated. We cannot tell exactly how long exposure should be under low temperatures. The grower should trial different methods and observe how the plant reacts. Use in salads and stir-fries. Saute or braise. Apx. 5600 seeds/ounce.
