description

Organic ‘Tatsoi’ Chinese cabbage is an elegant and highly productive variety that charms with its low, dense, and perfectly formed rosette, like a small fountain of glossy leaves close to the ground. With its dark green, spoon-shaped leaves and white midrib, Brassica rapa subsp. narinosa brings remarkable visual texture to the vegetable garden, while offering a quick and flavorful harvest. Its pleasant sweetness, enhanced by a subtly pungent hint, makes it an excellent leafy green for salads, soups, and stir-fries. In the garden, it quickly satisfies with its rapid growth, allowing for the harvesting of tender young shoots in a very short time, followed by mature plants soon after. Its ability to tolerate relatively warm conditions encourages successive sowings and extends the pleasure of harvests throughout the season. Easy to grow both in the ground and in containers, it thrives in well-drained soil and bright locations where its foliage remains dense and crisp. Its compact habit is particularly well-suited for small spaces, intensive gardens, and frequent harvests near the kitchen. It is a refined, quick, and versatile vegetable, perfect for enriching the vegetable garden with freshness, flexibility, and abundance.
