Mustard Lettuce

• Botanical Name: Brassica juncea

Southern Giant Curled / Mustard Greens. Bright green leaves, decoratively frilled at the edges, are delicious in sandwiches, salads or cooked like Spinach. Choose young tender 10-15cm leaves for a mild to hot Mustard flavour. Harvest before hot weather as summer heat and lack of water will cause leaves to turn tough and very bitter, although slow to bolt.

Heirloom; 12-20 degrees; 6-8 days; 5cm apart; Cooler Temps; 1.2.3; Direct Sow; 1000 seeds; Salad Green.
