'Great Wave Miike' Mustard (Brassica juncea). Organic 'Great Wave Miike' mustard is a remarkable variety that immediately catches the eye with its large, wavy, purplish-green foliage, bringing a graphic and refined presence to the vegetable garden. Vigorous and fast-growing, Brassica juncea is as decorative as it is flavorful, ideal for gardeners who enjoy harvesting characterful leaves. Its supple, veined texture enlivens market garden beds throughout the season, while its generous growth allows for repeated cuttings as needed.
Recommended sowing period: April to September. The depth to respect is 0.5 to 1 cm (0.2 to 0.4 in). Emergence usually takes 3 to 7 days. For germination, keep the soil at 18 to 22 °C (64 to 72 °F). Young cabbage plants require light to form short, vigorous plants. Transplant before the roots become crowded, then gradually acclimate the plants to outdoor conditions. Install them in prepared soil that retains regular moisture. Avoid overcrowding the plants, anticipating their small initial size: adult foliage takes up much more space during crop formation.
Harvested young or more mature, it enriches salads, stir-fries, and garnishes with a lively and stimulating note. Place the cabbage plants in rows spaced far enough apart to observe the base and heart of the plants. The foliage eventually covers a good part of the ground: weed early, before access becomes difficult. Avoid placing small, fragile crops directly under their leaves. Well-distributed planting also facilitates the installation of a protective net and the cutting of heads or stems at maturity. Vigorous and fast-growing, Brassica juncea is as decorative as it is flavorful, ideal for gardeners who enjoy harvesting characterful leaves.

Growing method
Recommended sowing period: April to September. Sow at a depth of 0.5 to 1 cm (0.2 to 0.4 in). Germination usually takes 3 to 7 days. For germination, keep the potting soil at 18 to 22 °C (64 to 72 °F). Young cabbage plants require light to form short, vigorous plants. Transplant before the roots become crowded, then gradually acclimate the plants to outdoor conditions. Plant them in prepared soil that retains consistent moisture. Avoid planting too closely together based on their small initial size: adult foliage takes up much more space as the crop develops. Inspect cabbage leaves, especially their undersides, to detect eggs, caterpillars, or bites early. Appropriate insect protection can help preserve the foliage while allowing air and light to pass through. Keep the heart or head accessible for observation. Harvest before the edible parts harden or open. Use a clean knife to cut without tearing the foliage you wish to keep. Cruciferous vegetables benefit from being monitored from planting.
Soil and care
The right care,at the right time.
Care level
Regular during establishment, then adapted to growing conditions
Watering
Regular
Soil type
Loose, fertile, and well-drained
Fertilization
Fertilization supports growth and takes into account nutrients already present in the soil or potting mix. Use mature compost or a fertilizer suitable for the crop, following the dosage instructions. Avoid using multiple products, especially in a container where roots occupy a limited volume. Water as needed after application and observe foliage development before re-fertilizing.
Moisture
Moist soil during germination, no standing water; adjust thereafter to the crop
Seasonal care
Vigorous and fast-growing, Brassica juncea is a decorative and flavorful crop, ideal for gardeners who enjoy harvesting characterful leaves. Young plants need light to form short, vigorous growth. Transplant before the roots become crowded, then gradually acclimate the plants to outdoor conditions. Plant them in prepared soil that retains consistent moisture. Avoid planting too closely together, despite their small initial size: the mature foliage will take up much more space as the crop develops. Inspect the cabbage leaves, especially their undersides, to detect eggs, caterpillars, or bites early. Appropriate insect netting can help protect the foliage while still allowing air and light to pass through. Keep the heart or head accessible for observation. Harvest before the edible parts harden or open. Use a clean knife to cut the foliage you wish to keep without tearing it. Cruciferous vegetables benefit from early monitoring starting from planting. Look at the underside of the leaves to spot small caterpillars and initial damage. A net installed early can protect the crop, provided there is enough space for the foliage. Close the edges securely after care, without pinching leaves against the mesh. On the palate, it reveals a pungent and distinct flavor, reminiscent of arugula while retaining the warm and spicy identity of the best Asian mustards.
Container growing
A garden,within reach.
Suitable for containers
Yes
Recommended pot size
A stable, perforated container, wide enough for the plant to spread out and deep enough for the roots
Choose this exposure: sun to partial shade. Reserve this spread around the plant: 30 to 45 cm (12 to 18 in). In a container, leave enough space for a cabbage so that its foliage is not compressed against a neighbor's. The pot must remain stable as the harvested part grows. Keep the root ball fresh and check the underside of the leaves during watering. The container choice should be based on the adult development, even if the young plant seems small at the time of repotting. The organic 'Great Wave Miike' mustard is a remarkable variety that immediately catches the eye with its ample, wavy, and purplish-green foliage, bringing a graphic and refined presence to the vegetable garden. Vigorous and fast-growing, Brassica juncea is a crop that is as decorative as it is flavorful, ideal for gardeners who like to harvest leaves full of character. Its flexible and ribbed texture enlivens market garden beds throughout the season, while its generous growth allows for repeated cuttings as needed. On the palate, it reveals a pungent and frank flavor, reminiscent of arugula while retaining the warm and spicy identity of the best Asian mustards.

Garden associations
In goodcompany.
Companion plants
In a diversified plantation, you can reserve neighboring sections for these plants: cabbage, carrots, lettuce. The association here serves to organize space and harvests. Respect the height, light, and water needs of each plant, without crowding the foliage. Keep an aisle for watering and picking, then remove finished crops to free up space. This organization facilitates maintenance without promising protection against pests. Place cabbages in rows spaced far enough apart to be able to observe the base and heart of the plants.

Edible parts
Leaves
Cooking idea with 'Great Wave Miike' Mustard: stir-fried vegetables for four servings. Prepare 400g of the harvested part, one clove of garlic, 15ml of oil, and 30ml of water. Cut the stems, ribs, or firm parts into small pieces and set the leaves aside. Heat the oil, sauté the garlic without burning it, then add the firm pieces and water. Cover for a few minutes. Then add the leaves or tender parts and continue cooking until the desired texture is reached. Season to taste and serve hot. Prepare the ingredients with clean utensils and adjust the cut to the size of your harvest. This recipe highlights freshly picked parts: remove any damaged pieces before preparation. If you double the quantities, ensure there is enough space in the pan to mix or cook evenly. Promptly refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container and consume within two days. For a meal for two people, simply halve all quantities.
