Description

Mizuna Mustard is a fast-growing, open-pollinated Asian green known for its feathery, deeply cut leaves and mild, peppery flavor. This versatile variety produces tender, bright green foliage that adds both texture and a gentle mustard bite to salads, stir-fries, and fresh mixes.

Unlike stronger mustards, Mizuna offers a more delicate flavor, making it ideal for fresh eating while still holding up well when lightly cooked. Its quick growth and cut-and-come-again habit make it a reliable choice for continuous harvests throughout the season.

• Type: Open-pollinated annual
• Direct sow: Early spring or late summer for fall harvest
• Sun: Full sun to partial shade
• Spacing: 6–8 inches
• Height: 12–18 inches
• Days to harvest: 20–25 days (baby greens), 40–50 days full size

Mizuna thrives in cool weather and grows best in well-drained, fertile soil. Sow seeds directly and keep soil evenly moist for steady growth. Harvest young leaves for tender greens or allow plants to mature for larger harvests. Regular cutting encourages new growth and extends the harvest window.
