Its delicate, deeply divided foliage gives the plant an almost fern-like appearance and makes it particularly attractive in salad mixes and edible garden plantings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe leaves have a mild, pleasantly peppery flavour that is more delicate than many traditional mustard greens. Young leaves are excellent eaten fresh in salads, sandwiches and wraps or used as an attractive garnish. Larger leaves can be lightly sautéed, steamed or tossed through stir-fries, noodles and other warm dishes just before serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFast growing and cold tolerant, Lime Streaks is particularly well suited to cut-and-come-again harvesting. Pick individual leaves or cut young foliage regularly while leaving the central growing point intact, and plants will quickly produce another flush of tender growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMizuna has a long history of cultivation in Japan, where its finely divided leaves have traditionally been used fresh, cooked and pickled. Its combination of rapid growth, cold tolerance and distinctive foliage has also made it increasingly popular as a salad green around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants thrive in cool to mild conditions and prefer fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Cooler weather encourages tender growth and a milder flavour, while warmer conditions can increase pepperiness and encourage plants to bolt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 150 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: Autumn to winter\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: Autumn to spring\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: Autumn to spring\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: Spring to autumn\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow approximately 5–10 mm deep directly into prepared soil or raise in trays for transplanting.
