Heirloom Pak Choi Seeds – Fast-Growing, Nutritious, Perfect for Stir-Fry

How to grow: Pak choi is fast and easy, ideal for beginners. Sow seeds about 1 cm deep, either directly where they are to grow or into trays to transplant. It grows best in the cooler months of autumn and spring, as heat and stress make it bolt to seed, and it prefers a spot with full sun to part shade and rich, moisture-retentive soil. Keep the soil consistently moist, as dry spells trigger bolting. Seeds germinate quickly, usually within a week. Thin or space plants to around 15 to 20 cm apart for full heads, or grow closer and harvest young as baby leaves. Ready in just weeks, it can be picked as whole heads or as a cut-and-come-again crop. Good companions include dill and onion.
