CERTIFIED ORGANIC! When small, the lovely burgundy coloured leaves with light green veins are so mild and delicious they can be eaten in salads. In summer, big leaves pack a proper mustard punch but they are much milder when cooked or when grown in cooler weather. Very winter-hardy, Giant Red Organic mustard seeds can be planted into October or in early spring to harvest as small leaves every few days. For big plants, thin to 20-30cm (8-12″) in the row.

Matures in 45 days. (Open-pollinated seeds)

1g – approximately 715 seeds

Difficulty

Season & Zone
Season: Cool-season
Exposure: Full sun to partial shade

Timing
Mustards are cool season plants that grow quickly and then bolt. Direct sow with frost protection as early as February or without protection from early March to the end of May. Sowing short rows every 3 weeks allows for a continuous harvest of both baby leaves and full sized plants. Sow in September for late fall and winter harvests. Optimal soil temperature: 21°C (70°F). Seeds should sprout in 5-10 days.
