Description
Chinese Red Mustard 'Red Giant' is a biennial vegetable plant, growing rapidly between 15 and 25 cm (6 and 10in), cultivated for its wide and undulate leaves, which are reddish-purple in colour and have a pungent taste.

Chinese Red Mustard 'Red Giant' has been cultivated for a long time in China, Japan, and India. Its foliage is used in Asian dishes, and can also be cooked like spinach, with butter or cream, or eaten raw in salads to add a spicy flavour.
Chinese Mustard requires a supply of well-decomposed compost (3 kg/m).
Harvest: Harvest Chinese Mustard, leaf by leaf, as needed.

Planting and care
Sowing
From March to April and from August to September.
The seeds are sown thinly in loosened soil in rows spaced 40 cm (16in) apart, covering the seeds with half a centimetre of compost or fine soil. Lightly press down with the back of a rake and water with a fine mist. Keep sufficiently moist until germination, which can take 8 days.
Maintenance
When the young plants have 4 to 5 leaves, thin out, leaving one plant every 25 cm (10in). Weed and water regularly.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
