Description
Easy to grow, slow to bolt. An old Southern heirloom that produces large, upright plants with lots of rugole (crumpled) leaves. Delicious mustard “bite” and flavor and plants that are surprisingly long lasting. Known for its big yields of zesty, bright-green leaves. Grows almost anywhere and is cold-tolerant. A Southern staple when slow-cooked, but also good in salads when picked small. Excellent in Asian stir-fries. Photo courtesy of Baker Creek Heirloom Seed.
