New! True mini pac choi.
A baby pac choi that is truly proportional at mini size. Uniform, stout plants with green leaves and petioles. Shorter plant with a wider frame than Li Ren Choi. Good for direct seeding or transplanting. Slow bolting.
Specs:
• Packet: 250 seeds
• Avg. 10,300 seeds/oz
CULTURE:
Sow from early spring through midsummer. In the South, pac choi is well adapted for fall plantings. Suitable for fall sowing in mild climates or in a high tunnel or other protected structure in colder climates. Premature bolting of seedlings may occur if temperatures drop below 50°F (10°C), especially over multiple nights. Cold temperatures generally do not cause bolting of plants past the seedling stage.
DAYS TO MATURITY:
From emergence after direct seeding.
TRANSPLANTING:
Start seeds in 128 or 72-cell trays, 2–4 weeks before transplanting. Plant out before seedlings become rootbound or stressed to prevent premature bolting.
DIRECT SEEDING:
Sow 15 seeds/ft., 1/4" deep in rows 12-18" apart. Thin plants as recommended in our Pac Choi Comparison Chart. For baby-leaf production of 'Rosie', the only pac choi we recommend for baby leaf, see the Baby-Leaf Brassica Greens culture.
AVG. DIRECT SEEDING RATE:
For bunching: 830'/oz., 13,000'/lb. at above spacing.
INSECT PESTS:
Flea beetles can be controlled by covering with floating row covers from day of sowing.
HARVEST:
Harvest before flowering.
