Salad Greens - Seeds

Cichorium endivia

Moss Curled is a popular heirloom endive producing large, dense heads up to 35 cm across with finely curled, bright green leaves surrounding a crisp, creamy yellow heart. The tender inner leaves have a pleasantly mild flavour, while the outer leaves provide a slightly bitter contrast that is excellent in salads or lightly cooked dishes. Both heat tolerant and cold hardy, this reliable variety performs well across a wide range of growing conditions and matures in approximately 90–95 days.

Approximately 160 seeds per packet

Tropics: April to August
Subtropics: March to September
Mild climates: February to October
Cold climates: Spring to early autumn

Planting / Sowing
Sow seed directly or raise seedlings, planting 5 mm deep in fertile, well drained soil in full sun or part shade. Space plants 25–30 cm apart. Keep the soil evenly moist for the best leaf quality. Harvest outer leaves as required or cut the entire head once the centre has fully developed.

Cichorium endivia

Pancalieri Fine Cut is an attractive endive producing deeply cut, finely curled dark green leaves with crisp, pale ribs. The leaves have a pleasantly mild, nutty flavour with the characteristic gentle bitterness of endive, making them excellent for salads and mixed leafy greens.

Endive has been cultivated since ancient times, with records of its use in Egypt and Greece. The inner leaves can be blanched by covering or tying the outer leaves together before harvest, reducing bitterness and producing a paler, particularly tender heart. The leaves are nutritious and notably rich in vitamin A, as well as providing calcium and phosphorus.

Hardy and adaptable, Pancalieri Fine Cut tolerates both heat and light frost and can be harvested young for baby leaf or allowed to develop into a full-sized head. It thrives in similar conditions to lettuce, preferring fertile soil, consistent moisture and good drainage.

Seed count: approximately 700–1000 seeds per gram. Approximately 160 seeds per packet.

Planting / Sowing

Sow approximately 5–10 mm deep in fertile, well-drained soil, with an ideal soil temperature of approximately 15–25°C. Thin or transplant seedlings to approximately 20–30 cm apart with 45–60 cm between rows.

Grow in full sun to light shade and maintain consistent moisture for tender growth. For a milder, sweeter heart, blanch mature plants by covering the centre or loosely tying the outer leaves together shortly before harvest.

Maturity: approximately 33 days for baby leaf and 52 days for full size.

Ipomoea aquatica

Kang Kong, also known as Water Spinach or Entsai, is a fast-growing tropical leafy vegetable prized throughout Asia for its tender shoots, mild flavour and exceptional productivity. This narrow-leaf variety forms a short, sprawling vine and thrives in warm, moist conditions where many other leafy greens struggle.

The young shoots and leaves can be eaten fresh in salads or lightly cooked, while older stems and foliage are best enjoyed stir-fried, steamed or added to soups. With its crisp texture and delicate flavour, Kang Kong is a staple ingredient in many Southeast Asian dishes.

Well suited to hot climates, this vigorous plant flourishes in rich, damp soils and is particularly happy in swampy areas, near ponds or in consistently moist garden beds. Once established, it produces a continuous supply of tender shoots for harvesting throughout the growing season.

Brassica rapa var. japonica

Mibuna is a traditional Japanese leafy green producing elegant, narrow leaves up to 45 cm long on upright, vigorous plants. Closely related to Mizuna, it offers a milder flavour and a more refined appearance, making it a favourite for salads, stir-fries and fresh seasonal harvests.

The tender leaves, young stems and flowering shoots are all edible and can be harvested from the seedling stage onwards. Young leaves add a mild mustard flavour and crisp texture to salads, while mature foliage is excellent lightly cooked in stir-fries, soups and steamed vegetable dishes. Regular harvesting encourages fresh growth and extends the productive season.

Mibuna thrives during the cooler months of the year and is valued for its rapid growth, versatility and ability to provide repeated harvests from a single planting. Its graceful appearance also makes it an attractive addition to edible gardens and mixed vegetable beds.

Microgreens can be grown throughout the year in a bright, protected position with suitable warmth, light and good airflow.

Planting / Sowing

Use trays, pots or containers with good drainage and fill with a light, quality growing medium. Sow seeds approximately 2–5 mm deep. As the mixture contains seeds of different sizes and species, individual varieties will germinate and develop at different rates.

Keep consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once germinated, provide plenty of sunlight and good air circulation to encourage strong, healthy growth.

Harvest when approximately 2–5 cm tall, generally around 2–3 weeks after sowing, depending on the variety and growing conditions. Cut just above soil level and rinse thoroughly before use.

Cryptotaenia 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.
