Fun Jen Frilly Leaf Pak Choi Seeds – 100 Hybrid Bok Choy Seeds for Planting
Fun Jen Frilly Leaf Pak Choi is a distinctive hybrid bok choy prized for its deeply frilled, light green leaves and crisp, tender stems. This cool-season leafy green brings a delicate, mild flavor to stir-fries, soups, and fresh salads, and its ruffled foliage adds attractive texture to garden beds and container plantings. Whether you are an experienced grower or a home gardener trying pak choi for the first time, Fun Jen is a rewarding variety that matures quickly and can be harvested at baby-leaf or full-head stage.
This hybrid selection is well suited to spring and fall planting, when moderate temperatures encourage steady, tender growth. Its compact habit makes it a practical choice for raised beds, small-space gardens, and succession sowing throughout the cooler parts of the growing season.

Planting & Care
Sow Fun Jen seeds directly in the garden about 1/4 inch deep, or start them indoors for transplanting. Keep the seedbed consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs within 7 to 14 days at moderate soil temperatures. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to allow heads to develop properly. For a continuous harvest, sow small batches every few weeks during cool weather.
Provide regular watering and a layer of mulch to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Fun Jen performs best in cool conditions; protect plants from extreme heat, which can cause bolting. Harvest outer leaves as needed or cut whole heads when they reach the desired size. Monitor for common garden pests such as aphids and flea beetles, and maintain good air circulation to support healthy growth.
