Early Mizuna Mustard Seeds (Organic)
Early Mizuna Mustard Seeds (Organic)
Zingy Mizuna Mix
Early Mizuna Mustard, a Japanese heirloom, is celebrated for its mild yet peppery flavor and delicate, feathery leaves. Originating from Asia, this mustard variety is a subspecies of Brassica rapa, renowned for its use in both culinary and ornamental settings.
The plant's aesthetic appeal lies in its slender, serrated leaves forming a rosette-like structure. These vibrant green leaves showcase a mild mustard flavor, providing a slight spice to dishes without overpowering the palate. When young, the leaves offer a crisp texture and mild peppery taste, perfect for salads, stir-fries, and garnishes. As the plant matures, the flavor intensifies, adding a zesty kick to various cuisines.
To cultivate Early Mizuna Mustard, sow seeds directly in well-draining soil with adequate sunlight. Plant the seeds about half an inch deep, 1-2 inches apart, in rows roughly 12 inches apart. Optimal germination occurs in cooler temperatures between 45°F to 75°F (7°C to 24°C). Regular watering and adequate spacing aid in healthy growth, allowing the plant to reach maturity in about 40 to 50 days.
Ideal growing conditions include consistent moisture and fertile soil. Mizuna thrives in cooler weather but can tolerate some heat, making it suitable for both spring and fall cultivation. Regular harvesting of outer leaves encourages continuous growth, making it a versatile addition to home gardens and a favorite among culinary enthusiasts seeking a flavorful, nutritious green.

Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil & Water: Mustard greens prefers rich, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-7.5 and plenty of added organic matter. The plants need regular, even moisture to avoid bitterness.
Planting & Growing: Start seeds indoors and transplant out after the last frost, or sow seeds directly a few weeks before the last frost. Use this as a cool-season, end-of-summer crop too, sowing seeds well before the first frost of the fall. Mustard is very cold tolerant.
Harvesting & Storage: Begin harvesting individual leaves after the center rosette has begun to develop. You can begin harvesting at 6" by picking outside leaves. Mustard greens are slow to bolt and are winter hardy.

from 9231 reviewsThe cute packaging caught my eye first. I love you can open it up sprinkle in the seeds you need to use, and then close it up for another time. It is compact and cute. I am eager to harvest my greens.
One of my favorites to grow…always get a good yield out of this one and the flavor is just…YUM!
I received these in August and they have braved the heat of the past 2 months. I have continued to water them to ensure they live. One tree looks much better than the other, although I see buds ready for next year on both. I can't wait for spring to see blooms, leaves and branches to begin.
huge bulbs made up of huge cloves; perfect quality for planting - very firm and paper in tact.
My order was prompt and just what I expected.
I purchased Elephant and Music garlic bulbs to plant in my zone 7 garden. They arrived as firm, healthy bulbs.
Heads were big with many large cloves. I am anticipating a great outcome in early summer 🧄
Our chickens love this forage.I was a little concerned growing this in south Florida however it is flourishing. Our new go to, thanks Peaceful Valley!
What a deal - top quality and only $20.99. Happy Frog is a premium brand.
I prepped my raised beds with Happy Frog Potting Soil. I love that it contains earthworms castings. Premium product!
Firm bulbs, excellent quality. I eagerly await the saffron harvest next Spring.
Lovely large bulbs, wonderful quality!
I planted a row of red chesnok. The color is stunning, excellent quality.
I just planted two rows of CA late white. Garlic bulbs look beautiful - great quality. Can't wait for harvest and for braiding time!
I have been ordering shallots from Grow Organic for a couple of years now. I had some problems with the shallots, I have to say they have the best customer service. I am a Master Gardener and have ordered 100's of different veggies seeds for years at many different companies as I buy seeds for the Master Garden's and never have experience such great customer service. I believe anything you buy from them you will be happy
