Unit price perBrassica rapa subsp. chinensis
Bok Choi 'Pechay' is a compact, non-heading Chinese cabbage producing crisp white stems and smooth green leaves on plants reaching 20–30 cm tall. Fast growing and easy to cultivate, it is prized for its mild flavour, versatility in the kitchen and excellent resistance to bolting.
The broad white stems remain tender and succulent, while the leaves offer a pleasant, mildly pungent flavour. Popular throughout Asia, Bok Choi is commonly used in stir-fries, soups, noodle dishes and steamed vegetable preparations. Plants can be harvested whole or picked leaf by leaf, much like silverbeet, allowing for extended harvests over many weeks.
A hardy cool-season vegetable, Pechay performs particularly well during autumn, winter and spring. Its compact growth habit makes it ideal for smaller gardens, raised beds and container growing.

Planting / Sowing

Grow in full sun to partial shade in fertile, moisture-retentive soil enriched with compost. Keep plants well watered, particularly during warm weather, to encourage rapid growth and prevent bitterness. Harvest individual leaves as required or cut whole plants at approximately 60 days from sowing.
