Product description
Pak Choi 'Red Choi F1' is a striking variety known for its compact growth habit and eye-catching red-purple leaves with contrasting green stems. This visually appealing and nutritious leafy vegetable adds both colour and flavour to salads and stir-fries. The tender leaves and crisp stems provide a mild, slightly peppery taste, making 'Red Choi F1' a versatile choice for various culinary dishes. Its compact size also makes it suitable for container gardening, adding a vibrant touch to small spaces or patio gardens.
To grow Pak Choi 'Red Choi F1', sow seeds directly outdoors from April to August, placing them 1cm deep in well-prepared soil. This variety prefers a sunny or partially shaded spot and thrives in fertile, well-drained soil. After the seedlings emerge, thin them to 15-20cm apart in rows spaced 30cm apart to allow enough space for the plants to mature. Regular watering is essential to prevent the plants from bolting, particularly during hot weather, and maintaining consistent soil moisture will help ensure tender, flavourful leaves.
Harvesting 'Red Choi F1' is straightforward and can be done from June to October. You can either cut the whole plant at the base or pick individual leaves as needed, allowing the plant to continue producing new growth. This flexibility makes it easy to enjoy fresh, homegrown pak choi throughout the growing season. With its vibrant colours, compact growth, and mild flavour, 'Red Choi F1' is an excellent addition to any vegetable garden, providing both visual appeal and culinary versatility.
