An incredible variety from China! Eye-catching purple with sweet, rich flavor is perfect for wok, grill, or salads. Highly refined, uniform heads, averaging 6-7 inches tall. A beautiful variety, the antioxidant-rich plum-colored leaves really pop against the lime-green stems. Crunchy, juicy, and flavorful, this is an excellent culinary variety. 45 days.

Care: Plant 9-12″ apart in rows 18-24″ apart in full sun. Keep well watered for best flavor.
Cold-tolerant plants that stand in the field for harvest as needed in late fall and early winter. May overwinter in mild seasons, or die back and sprout from the root in spring for an extra-early crop.
