Both tasty and nutricious, this variety, Comred F1, has rich ruby red leaves that contrast beautifully with their green stems: it grows well from late spring to early autumn and makes a lovely addition to salads and sandwiches. Mature leaves can be shredded into a stir fry or steamed.
SOW: can be started in modules from late spring to late summer, or sow thinly where they are to grow. A good choice for CCA use (CCA is cut-&-come-again). Make several sowings for a supply through to autumn.
GROW: transplant at the 2/3 leaf stage and space at 10cm for small plants, or up to 35cm apart if you want to grow larger plants. Komatsuna can be harvested as a cut and come again (by leaving a short length of stem to resprout), or at any stage from small to large.
ENJOY: through the summer and, as these are hardy, the late sowings will crop well into the winter.
