Planting and care at a glance

For best results, sow in late spring to summer when the soil warms to about 65–85°F (18–30°C). Choose well-drained, fertile soil with ample organic matter and aim for a pH between 6.0 and 7.5. Plant seeds 0.5 cm deep directly in the garden or containers, spacing about 5 cm apart in rows, and thin seedlings to 20–30 cm apart as they establish.

• Fast germination and sturdy early growth help you see results quickly
• Heat-tolerant selection, ideal for summer gardens when other greens struggle
• Full sun, with 6–8 hours of daily light, supports robust leaves
• Keep soil consistently moist, avoiding waterlogging for steady production

Harvest schedule and culinary versatility

Germination typically occurs within 5–10 days. Harvest young leaves at 30–40 days for tender greens, or let plants reach 45–60 days for fuller leaves. Continuous harvesting encourages fresh growth and a steady supply from a single patch.

• Continuous harvesting extends the harvest window through the season
• Leaves work well fresh in salads, stir-fries, and soups, or cooked like spinach
• If allowed to flower, seeds can be collected for future plantings
