SCARBOROUGH SEEDS Mustard Osaka Purple 500 Seeds
Latin Name: Brassica juncea
30 to 45 days. An outstanding mustard of dark green-purple leaves with bright white veins. Harvest at 4 to 6 inches for salad or allow it to grow to full size for boiling greens. Fast and easy to grow, great crop for spring, or fall into early winter. Colorful microgreen with a bit of a bite. Osaka mustard is a strong Japanese mustard, with beautiful purple highlights. It is one of the primary ingredients in making wasabi. It grows well to the baby salad stage and is delicious as microgreen or baby salad green. Try as a fresh garnish with sushi instead of wasabi.
A cousin to kale and collards, mustard is a tenacious leafy green but it's not as cold-hardy. Start 4-6 weeks before the first frost for a fall harvest. For a spring harvest, start seeds 4
weeks ahead of the last frost. You can harvest and allow to regrow over a period of a couple weeks as long as the weather permits.
Days to Maturity: 30-45
Hardiness Zone: 3-7
Temp Preference: Cooler
Light Preference: Full Sun / Tolerant to some shade
