Korean Small Cabbage Seeds 'Green Seoul' – Loose-Head Napa for Kimchi, Pickling & Microgreens

Korean Small Cabbage 'Green Seoul' – The Kimchi Garden Essential

Green Seoul is a Korean loose-head Chinese cabbage with slender, narrow light-green leaves — prized above all for its role in authentic Korean kimchi, and equally beloved for pickling in Japanese and Chinese cuisines. Fast-maturing and incredibly versatile, it can be harvested at any stage: as delicate microgreens, tender baby salad leaves, or a full head at 10–12" tall in about 70 days.

Its mild, slightly sweet flavor and tender leaves make it a natural fit for fresh salads, stir-fries, wraps, soups, and fermented preparations alike.

Growing Instructions

• Chinese cabbage prefers cool temperatures — best planted in spring (after last frost) or late summer for a fall harvest.
• Prepare fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny location.
• Sow seeds ¼–½" deep, 2" apart; thin to 6–8" apart once established.
• Keep soil consistently moist and fertilize as needed.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures below 50°F to prevent bolting.

Harvesting at Every Stage

• Microgreens (7–14 days): Broadcast seeds on moist soil, cover lightly, and keep evenly moist. Cut at 3–4" tall.
• Baby leaves (~30 days): Harvest outer leaves for salad mix while the plant continues growing.
• Full head (~70 days): Cut whole plant at the base when 10–12" tall and leaves are firm.
