Brassica Rapa Subsp Chinensis – 0.75g – Approx 320 seeds
Pak Choi ‘Dwarf Canton White’ is a Chinese heritage variety originating from the Canton (Guangdong) region of southern China, where it has been grown for centuries as an everyday kitchen green. Valued for its compact size and reliable growth, it was traditionally grown in small plots close to the home so it could be harvested fresh and often. This variety forms neat rosettes of crisp white stems and glossy green leaves, staying smaller and more uniform than many modern types. This is a pak choi selected and saved for practicality and flavour long before it became commercialised. Its long history of cultivation is what makes it special.
Pak Choi seeds should be direct sown from spring to early summer and again in late summer. Early and late sowings can be made under cover. The plants should be watered regularly as they grow to avoid bolting.
