This striking Asian green forms neat, low rosettes of glossy, deep-crimson leaves with pretty green reverses. Its mild, sweet flavor and crisp texture holds up well in salads, stir-fries, and soups. Fast and easy to grow, tatsoi is ready to harvest as baby greens in just a few weeks or can be left to mature into full rosettes. Its cold-hardy nature makes it a great choice for both spring and fall plantings, and the vivid color adds beautiful contrast to any garden bed or mixed greens bowl.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS

TO START OUTDOORS

In very early spring as soon as ground can be worked, prepare a well-drained, fertile garden bed in full sun. Sow seeds 1 to 2 inches apart in rows spaced 6 to 8 inches apart. Cover ¼ inch deep and keep soil evenly moist to ensure good germination. Thin to 4 to 6 inches apart when large enough to handle. Sow again in late summer for another fast-growing crop.

TO START INDOORS

Sow seeds in a container of seed starting mix 1 to 2 inches apart and cover ¼ inch deep. Keep moist and provide a strong light source until seedlings are about 3 inches tall and ready to plant in the garden.

THIN OR TRANSPLANT

Space seedlings 4 to 6 inches apart to give plants room to mature.

GROWING NOTES

Tatsoi thrives in nitrogen-rich soil and cool growing conditions. Be sure to thin seedlings and keep well-weeded and watered for best, sweet tasting heads. Feed 2 or 3 times during the growing season with fish emulsion or another high-nitrogen liquid fertilizer.

HARVEST AND USE

Enjoy colorful early thinnings fresh in salads. Harvest the full, upright rosettes once they are densely packed and well colored. Chop the vitamin-rich leaves into vibrant stir-fries, or lightly sauté to preserve their sweet, mild flavor and crunchy texture. This stunning red variety is as nutritious as it is beautiful, loaded with healthy antioxidants.
