Popular in Chinese and Oriental Cuisine this relative of broccoli is perfect for stir fry's. The thickness of the leaves and stems really adds texture and bulk to dishes - whilst the dark-blue green of leaf and stem adds colour interest.
If allowed to mature to flowering stage small white broccoli like florets are produced that add further interest and a satisfying crunch.
Can also be eaten as a 'baby leaf'.
Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects if allowed to 'go over' and flower (so if you have room leave any plants in that have gone too far rather than pulling them out straight away).
- Sow thinly April - September in drills ¾" (2 cm) deep in rows 12" (30 cm) apart - or thinly in containers.
- For use as a cut and come again leaf crop thin to 4" (10 cm) apart.
- For eating 'whole' thin to 12" (30 cm) - but remember to eat the thinnings!
- For over Winter crops sow under protection, in the same manner, from August - mid October.
