Add beautiful color, delicate texture, and fresh flavor to your garden with Mizuna Red Streaks Mustard Seeds. This striking Japanese-style leafy green produces deeply cut, feathery leaves with rich burgundy-red to purple-red coloring and contrasting green tones.

The tender young leaves are excellent for baby-leaf salads and colorful salad mixes, while mature foliage can be enjoyed fresh or lightly cooked. Its finely serrated leaves create an elegant appearance in both the garden and kitchen.

Mizuna thrives in cool weather and grows quickly, making it an excellent choice for spring and fall gardens, raised beds, containers, and succession planting.

Growing Info

  • When to Plant: Sow outdoors in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked. Plant again in late summer or early fall for a cool-weather autumn harvest.

  • Spacing: For mature plants, thin seedlings to approximately 6–8 inches apart. For baby greens, plants can be grown much closer together.
  • Row Spacing: Approximately 12–18 inches.
  • Sunlight: Grow in full sun to partial shade. Light afternoon shade can help during warmer weather.
  • Soil: Prefers fertile, loose, well-draining soil with consistent moisture.
  • Watering: Keep soil evenly moist for tender foliage and steady growth. Avoid allowing young plants to dry out excessively.
  • Succession Planting: Sow additional seeds every 2–3 weeks during cool weather for a continuous supply of tender greens.
