Chinese Cabbage Seeds - Osaka Shirona. Heirloom, Non-GMO. Brassica rapa Pekinensis group. 40-60 days. Cool season annual. Osaka Shirona is a loose-head variety of Chinese cabbage. These Japanese greens grow mild-tasting medium-sized bright green leaves with wide and firm white petioles or stocks. It is a fast-growing variety that is tolerant to both cold and heat. In frost-free areas it can be sown all year long, but avoid planting in the middle of a hot summer. Traditionally, leaves were dried or pickled to provide nutritious greens during winter months. Chinese cabbage prefers cool temperatures for its main growing season. Prepare fertile, well-drained soil. In temperate areas sow seeds in spring/summer after last frost or late summer/early fall. Plant year round in tropical areas. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Exposure to frost or prolonged temperatures below 50?F may result in bolting. Harvest at any stage. Note: Chinese Cabbage requires vernalization. Bud differentiation and bolting results from low temperatures of 41?F for a week or 50?F for two weeks. For spring harvest, transplant seedlings with 5-7 true leaves raised at 73-75?F during the day and over 53?F at night. Providing plants with adequate water and fertilizer after transplanting will promote faster growth. Popular in Japanese soups and braised with meat in sukiyaki. Used in yosenabe, ohitashi, stir-fry, pickling and salad. Approx 11400 seeds /oz.
