Pak Choi 'Rubi' F1 Seeds

Overview

An unusual all year round veg that is becoming ever more popular with its use in oriental stir-fries and salads, it has a mild cabbage flavour.

Pak Choi 'Rubi' F1 is a purple/red leaved variety with bright green stems, it looks as attractive in the garden as on a plate as a babyleaf veg or as whole head shredded leaves in stir-fries. It is great for overwintering as well as for maincrop sowing.

It is very quick to crop (3-6 weeks), easy to grow and slow to bolt - a little star. It can be treated as a 'cut and come again' crop i.e. harvesting a few leaves at a time or the whole head can be lifted entirely or cut 2.5cm above ground level and left to re-sprout.

Autumn sown ones should be sown in greenhouses / polytunnels either in the soil/containers or even grow bags and kept protected in cold spells.
Care	Thin row to 7.5-10cm for baby leaf, 20cm for semi-mature & 25cm for whole heads. To help prevent bolting pick leaves regularly, water well and keep weed free. Thinnings can be eaten.
