Learn how to grow Napa cabbage from seed all the way to harvest with my YouTube video tutorial: https://youtu.be/bvZBdjPazeM
This variety of Napa cabbage forms a tall and loose head. Leaves are light green with centers that get more golden yellow in color. Plant them 1 foot apart because they get very big. Plants form into a huge rosette shape with the head forming in the middle. You can harvest individual leaves or wait until the head is big enough for your liking to harvest the entire thing. Perfect for stir-fry's, adding into soups, or preserve by pickling or making kimchi.
I recommend to start seeds in 72 cell seed trays but they also do well if direct sown. Seedlings are transplanted into the garden once the root system fills the whole cell. At planting time, I add a nice handful of blood meal in each planting hole. Blood meal is organic and high in nitrogen. The resulting leaves are lush and deep dark green in color. I also sprinkle some organic granular fertilizer about 1 month later after being transplanted to give them a boost to grow large heads.
I have not experienced much pest issues if grown during the correct time of year which is fall thru spring. The only issue I have had was aphids start attacking them late in spring. I have found if I plant kale and nasturtiums all over my garden, the aphids will feast on them instead and leave my greens alone. So I use kale and nasturtiums as a trap crops. I have a Trap Crop seed collection if you want to grow more of the trap crops that I recommend and use in my garden.

Orders are shipped in 1-3 business days excluding holidays or delays due to natural disasters like hurricanes.
Seeds are shipped in bubble mailers so they will not be pushed through USPS roller machines which can damage the seeds. I will not ship seeds in an envelope for this reason.
Seeds will be shipped with no planting instructions to keep seed costs low to the buyer. Germination and plant care information is included in the description. I encourage each gardener to research specifics on how to be successful growing them. I also have lots of information on my TikTok, Instagram and YouTube channel all under the account name jerrasgarden. I started this shop to share my love of certain seed varieties and spread the knowledge of gardening. Please contact me if you can't find information or have additional questions.
Orders with live plants are packed on Mondays and Thursdays (excluding holidays or delays because of natural disasters. Plants are shipped in boxes with packaging material to protect them while they are in transit.
No returns or refunds once shipped. I am not responsible for lost or damaged packages caused by USPS. Since there are so many factors that affect germination and growing success, no refunds or exchanges are allowed once seeds have shipped. These are the same seeds I use in my personal garden so I can attest to their viability. Seeds are fresh season to season.
