Brassica Rapa – 0.75g – Approx 320 seeds       

Scarlet Tatsoi is a modern open-pollinated heirloom, rooted in Asian culinary tradition. Also known as rosette bok choy or spoon mustard, it forms low rosettes of deep burgundy leaves with green stems — a variety with real visual character that adds colour in the garden and on the plate. It is a cold-tolerant plant ideal for growing during the cooler months. The flavour is nutty and mild, ideal for sautéing, steaming or adding fresh to ramen and winter salads. The leaves can be enjoyed as a baby leaf or as a full-sized harvest. A perfect choice if you love cooking with seasonal greens and enjoy plants with visual character.

Direct sow tat soi seeds from spring to late summer. Early sowings will benefit from protection. The leaves can be harvested individually or the whole plant can be cut at the base.
