Chinese Cabbage 'Miss Hong' F1 / 'Red Trumpet' F1

  • Product number: 150660
  • Origin: East Asia
  • Latin: Brassica rapa cv group Chinese Cabbage, also known as campestris var. Pekinensis

After the arrival of the first red Chinese Cabbage (Scarvita and Merlot), it was inevitable: a dark, deep-red variety of leaves, beautiful for garnishing, salads, stir-frying, and fermenting as in kimchi.
In warm weather, the plants remain open and produce large, thick leaves that are crispier than a typical closed Napa type. In cooler autumn weather, the heads usually close like a standard Chinese cabbage with softer, tender leaves. Unique and very ornamental.

Names:
Latin: Brassica rapa cv group Chinese Cabbage, or also campestris var. Pekinensis
