4 Growing Tips

Sow seeds in cool weather for the best leaf development and flavor.
Keep the seedbed evenly moist until seedlings become established.
Thin crowded seedlings to provide sufficient room for healthy growth.
Harvest young leaves regularly to encourage continued leaf production.

Seed Storage

Store unused mustard seeds in a cool, dry, dark place. Keep them in an airtight container away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight. Label the container with the seed variety and storage date.

Unique Facts About Seeds

Red Giant Mustard belongs to the Brassica family, which includes cabbage, kale, and broccoli.
Mustard greens are known for their naturally spicy, peppery flavor.
The plant can be harvested at different stages, from tender baby greens to larger mature leaves.
Mustard generally prefers cooler growing conditions than many warm-season vegetables.

Growing Instructions

Plant Red Giant Mustard during the cooler parts of the growing season, such as early spring or late summer for a fall crop. In mild climates, it can also be grown through much of the cooler season.

Sow seeds directly into fertile, well-drained soil at about one-quarter inch deep. Space seeds closely for baby greens or provide wider spacing when growing plants for larger leaves. Choose a location receiving full sun to partial shade.

Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid excessive waterlogging. Seeds commonly germinate within several days under favorable conditions. If starting indoors, transplant young seedlings carefully once they are established and outdoor conditions are suitable.

Feed plants with a balanced vegetable fertilizer or compost-enriched soil to support leafy growth. Remove weeds regularly and maintain even moisture throughout development. Harvest tender leaves as needed, or allow plants to mature for larger greens. Harvesting can begin with young leaves within several weeks, while mature leaves require additional growing time.
