 Also known as Shanghai Pac Choi, this is a beautiful little vase-shaped plant. This early baby pac choi is mild and tender with medium-green leaves on pale-green, spoon-shaped stalks (petioles). Bred to be tolerant to heat, rain, cold, and dampness. Ching Chiang Shanghai pac choi seeds are a great variety for early spring planting under cover and for late summer plantings in mild-winter areas. Harvest when 15cm (6") tall.

All are cool season plants that grow quickly and then bolt. Direct sow with frost protection (a cloche or heavy row cover) as early as late winter, or without protection from four weeks before the last frost date to eight weeks after. Sowing short rows every 2-3 weeks allows for a fairly constant harvest time. Sow again in late summer, and provide frost protection as the first frost date approaches.
 
Starting
