Bok Choy/Pak Choi 'Mei Qing Choi'
Brassica rapa chinensis 'Mei Qing Choi F1'
Mei Qing Choi is a hybrid Shanghai Pak Choi or Bok Choy that produces tender, sweet, crunchy stalks. This variety is slow to bolt and fairly cold-tolerant, extending your growing season.
Bok Choy or Pak Choi can be harvested once the leaves reach a usable size. You can pull outer leaves off and use them as needed, or harvest the whole head at once. Bok Choy or Pak Choi bolts quickly once the temperatures warm and will turn bitter. If you see flower buds forming, harvest immediately.
Bok Choy or Pak Choi grows best in full to part sun with fertile, consistently moist, well-drained soil. Remove weeds so they do not compete for water and nutrients. Consider adding organic matter to your soil to improve drainage and add nutrients.
Seasonal Availability: Typically available April through June, depending on suppliers availability.
