Frilly Leaf Pak Choi Seeds - Fun Jen Hybrid Asian Greens (500mg)

Fun Jen Hybrid Pak Choi is a distinctive Asian green prized for its frilly, light green leaves and mild, sweet flavor. Unlike traditional bok choy, Fun Jen forms a loose rosette of deeply ruffled leaves rather than a tight head, making it an attractive and versatile addition to the garden. The tender leaves are excellent for stir-fries, soups, salads, and fresh eating, and the plant's compact size suits both garden beds and containers.

This hybrid variety is known for its rapid growth and tolerance to cool weather, providing a quick harvest of baby greens or mature leaves. Its ornamental frilly foliage also adds texture to edible landscapes. Whether you're a seasoned grower or new to Asian greens, Fun Jen offers an easy and rewarding crop.

Planting & Care

Sow Fun Jen Pak Choi seeds directly in the garden or start indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs within 7-14 days. For a continuous harvest, succession sow every 2-3 weeks. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to allow for healthy growth.

Provide regular watering and mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fun Jen thrives in cool weather and can be grown in spring and fall; in warmer climates, provide afternoon shade to prevent bolting. Harvest outer leaves as needed or cut the entire plant at the base for a full head. Monitor for common pests like aphids and flea beetles, and use row covers if necessary.
