Planting & Care

Sow Mizuna Early seeds directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked in spring, or in late summer for a fall crop. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil evenly moist until germination. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to allow for healthy growth. For a continuous harvest, sow seeds every 2-3 weeks.

Provide consistent moisture and mulch to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest outer leaves when they are young and tender, or cut the entire plant about 2 inches above the soil line to encourage regrowth. Mizuna Early is relatively pest-resistant but watch for flea beetles and aphids. Avoid letting plants bolt in hot weather by providing afternoon shade if needed.
