Mitsuba Seeds
$3.90
Unit price perCryptotaenia japonica
Mitsuba is a traditional Japanese herb and leafy green valued for its delicate flavour, attractive foliage and versatility in the kitchen. Often described as having notes of parsley, celery and angelica, it is widely used fresh in salads, soups, stews and noodle dishes throughout Japan.
The tender leaves and stems are harvested young for their mild aromatic flavour, while the stems can be blanched to produce a sweeter, more delicate vegetable. Plants form attractive clumps and can reach up to 90 cm in height when mature, making Mitsuba both an ornamental and edible addition to the garden.
A cool-season crop, Mitsuba grows best during spring and autumn and prefers consistent moisture and some protection from intense summer heat. Once established, it provides a steady supply of fresh leaves for harvesting over an extended period.
Approximately 280 seeds per gram
Approximately 200 seeds per packet

Flower seeds: As fellow gardening enthusiasts we share the love for planting and nurturing our own flowers in addition to our veggie gardens. Our carefully selected range of flower seeds, available for convenient online purchase, holds a special place in our hearts.
