Mr Fothergill’s Mizuna Seeds

Description

Mr Fothergill’s Mizuna Seeds, Easy, fast growing glossy leaves. Ideal for gardens where space is limited or in large pots if kept well watered.

Sow outdoors thinly where they are to crop, 1.5cm deep, directly into prepared soil. For cut and come again baby leaves, allow 15cm between rows or sow thinly direct into 25cm pots. Early sowings may benefit from cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 7-14 days. No further thinning should be necessary, keep moist. Regular sowings made every two to three weeks will ensure a continuous supply of leaves. Pick a few from each plant when approx. 10cm high, they will regrow for up to 4 ‘cuts’. For mature leaves allow 25cm between rows and thin to 20cm apart. Harvest whole plants from May.

• Lovely deeply cut Oriental leaf with a peppery flavour
• Use baby leaves in salads and stir-fry larger ones
• A good source of vitamin C
