Featuring ornamental, feathery, deep green leaves, Mizuna adds a delightful touch to salads when used raw or can be finely chopped and incorporated into stir-fries and soups.

Sowing & Growing
Mizuna seeds can be started under cover as early as January and can be grown throughout the year. Sow the seeds in pots or modular trays filled with damp seed compost and cover lightly with fine sifted compost. Ensure the pots and trays are not left to dry out. It’s better to lay the pots and trays in water rather than water from overhead. Seeds will germinate in 3-5 days, after which they can be transplanted to individual pots or thinned to one plant per module when 2cm-3cm high. Young plants are best acclimatised (hardened off) in a cold frame or cold greenhouse prior to planting out in their permanent positions.
Seeds can also be sown direct into well prepared seed beds from March onwards, and because they are very fast growing, several sowings can be made throughout the summer. Draw a furrow using the edge of a hoe and lightly sow the seeds at a depth of 1cm then lightly cover with fine soil. Use a watering can with a fine rose attachment to gently water the furrows. Once germination has taken place, the plants can be thinned according to their intended use.
