China King F1 Dwarf Chinese Cabbage seeds
China King is a baby version of the larger market varieties. While growing the heads are compact, uniform, and slender. Chinese cabbage is a versatile vegetable best suited for stir-fries and soups. It has a traditional cabbage flavor, but much milder and with a subtle sweetness. This variety is excellent if you have limited space for a few reasons.
China King is early to mature which means it will grow fast so you can harvest it and have room for your summer and fall veggies. This is also great for square-foot gardening since you can grow more heads per squash inch. If you have a smaller garden or raised beds, these will allow room for other plants while remaining lower to the ground so they don't overshadow your full-sun veggies.
If you are into patio or container gardening, these are also a choice as their compact nature allows them to do well in containers. These can be started indoors prior to your last frost so you can get a head start if you prefer.
