Like tatsoi but with larger crinkly leaves. A cross between two of the most delicious and hardy greens, tatsoi and komatsuna. I have found this to develop larger heads as well so more production than tatsoi. Incredible heat tolerance, I have grown and harvested from these plants until mid July with afternoon shade which is unheard of for leafy greens in south Florida. Substitute for any recipe that calls for spinach, can be eaten raw or cooked. Bonus, no oxalates for those that are sensitive. If I could grow just one green, I think this would be it.
Packet: ~200 seed
Good to start from seed in these months:
North Florida: March-May, September-November
Central Florida: March-May, September-November
South Florida: February-March, October-December

Open Pollinated Heirloom Seeds Selected To Thrive
This is a curated collection of seeds I have found to grow well in Florida over the years. It is designed to take the overwhelm and thought process out of figuring out which varieties to select that will actually grow well here.
Some of the seed is saved from myself and other small local growers for harder to source varieties that you can't find online.
The majority of the seed varieties will come from dedicated seed supply companies like Working Food or Southern Exposure Seed Exchange to keep up with demand. We always prioritize localized seed sources which have a sustainable and equitable business model.
