Description

Use in salads and stir-fries. Yukina Savoy is a very delicious cold tolerant cooking green. It grows in a rosette, like tatsoi, but bigger. Forest green, spoon-shaped leaves with very mild flavor are cupped and heavily savored. Upright architecture for easy harvesting. Slow to bolt. 21,500 seeds/oz. Loose Head Type

Yukina Savoy looks like a larger and savoyed version of Tatsoi. The thick, dark green, shiny, spoon-shaped leaves grow upright on pale green petioles. This vigorous and easy to grow plant is heat and cold resistant and can be grown year round. It has a mild flavor when harvested young.

Cool season annual
Maturity: Approx. 25-45 days
Planting season: Late spring to early
Cultivation: Chinese cabbage prefers cool temperatures for its main growing season. Prepare fertile, well-drained soil. In temperate areas sow seeds in spring/summer after last frost or late summer/early fall. Plant year round in tropical areas. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Exposure to frost or prolonged temperatures below 50°F may result in bolting. Harvest at any stage.
Note: Chinese Cabbage requires vernalization. Bud differentiation and bolting results from low temperatures of 41°F for a week or 50°F for two weeks. For spring harvest, transplant seedlings with 5-7 true leaves raised at 73-75°F during the day and over 53°F at night. Providing plants with adequate water and fertilizer after transplanting will promote faster growth.
