Tatsoi

Brassica rapa

Certified Organic

Microgreens Suitable

Mild, fast-growing Asian green.

Over the centuries, East Asian gardeners have selected dozens of varieties of unique and highly useful brassicas. From bulging Chinese cabbages to bulbous Bok Choys to frilly Mizunas, it's hard to believe that all these diverse habits and colors are part of the same species. Tatsoi is one of our favorites. The lovely low-growing rosettes of deep green leaves proclaim this plant's nutrient density. Raw or cooked, its delicate flavor and tender texture belie an inner resilience: it heartily survives the cold, thriving into late fall and winter.

On top of all that, Tatsoi grows quickly: it can be harvested young within 3-4 weeks of planting, and fully-grown plants take under 2 months. It lasts well into the colder months and can be grown successfully all winter with protection. Once you've discovered its charms, your garden will never be without it.

Growing instructions
Sow indoors beginning 8-10 weeks before last frost, or direct sow beginning 3-4 weeks before last frost. Can be sown straight through until September, though spring sowings can bolt early and be taken by flea beetles; consider using row cover. Sow more densely than indicated for baby clippings. Harvest whole head—not an ideal cut-and-come-again green. Superb in fall and winter.

    Started these in March and transplanted outside! They loved the cooler weather and got so big. Harvested and sowed some more for a couple more weeks. They got to be pretty big again but then started bolting and just getting devoured by cabbage moths. Which I was expecting from the tips on the packet. I will be sowing more of these when fall comes around! So juicy and mustardy.

    We shared baby Tatsoi Mustard/Brassica rapa var. rosularis plants with neighbors via the "Little Free Nursery" next to our Little Free Library on the corner of Barker & Menlo, Silver Spring MD when Covid-19 was still going strong in 2021. We experimented with this plant in a terra cotta pot and it was loving the December 3rd weather.
