Taiwan Sword Leaf Lettuce Seeds – A Choy Asian Green Vegetable Garden Seeds
Lactuca sativa
Listing is for 1 packet of minimum 25 seeds
Taiwan Sword Leaf Lettuce, also known as A Choy or You Mai Tsai, is a unique Asian green prized for its upright, sword-shaped leaves and tender, flavorful texture. Popular in Taiwanese and Chinese cuisine, A Choy is harvested young for fresh salads or left to grow larger for stir-fries, soups, and sautéed dishes. It has a crisp, juicy bite with a slightly nutty, mild flavor—perfect for hot weather greens. A Choy grows quickly and prefers cool to warm temperatures, making it suitable for both spring and fall gardens. Sow seeds directly in well-drained soil or start indoors and transplant once seedlings are strong. Harvest outer leaves as needed, or let it grow to full size for a large central head. This versatile and delicious lettuce is a must-try for gardeners looking to expand beyond traditional greens.

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.
