This is the darkest of mizunas: looks stunning in mixed salads. The striking deep red colour shows very early: on the cotyledons as well as the proper leaves. Pick from baby leaf to full size. Price for 100 seeds
If you are using this as a baby leaf then you can sow at any time of the year and grow them on a window sill.
For larger plants they are best sown in modules from February to October but chilly early and late sowing need to grow with protection from prolonged rain or snow.
EAT: for salad use whole young leaves or shred larger leaves. You can also steam, stir fry or use the leaves in soups.
