How to Grow Purple Magic Epic High Cabbage

Prepare fertile, well-draining soil. Sow seeds in the spring after the last frost to early summer or late summer/early fall. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Optimum growing temperatures are in the 50-70 F. Exposure to frost or prolonged temperatures below 50 F may result in bolting. Mulch fall crops to avoid premature bolting.

Harvesting Pak Choi

This pak choi is fully harvestable at 45 days for full maturity. Harvest when about 8-10 inches tall. It is ideal to harvest pak choi in the mornings before the heat of the sun removes moisture from the leaves. Cut the short root stem below the base and lift away the head of the cabbage.

Pak Choi can also be harvested as cut-and-come-again by cutting only the outer leaves 2 inches from the base. New leaves will grow, and you can continue harvesting up to a third of the cabbage at a time

Culinary Tips

This plant can be eaten fresh. The mature plant is delicious in stir-fries or braised. To prepare, rinse well and separate the stems before tearing leaf greens from ribs. For stir fry, cut into 0.5-inch slices and saute with oil, vegetables, and/or the meat of your choice. Also a great choice as a baby leaf for salads.
