Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Japanese Pink mizuna is a cool-weather leafy green that thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5. It grows best in a range of temperatures from 55 F to 70 F, making it suitable for both early spring and late summer planting. Mizuna prefers full sun but can handle partial shade. Keep the soil consistently moist to prevent bolting, which can occur in warm or dry conditions​.
When to Grow
Plant Mizuna Japanese Pink in early spring or late summer, avoiding the peak heat of summer. In milder climates, it can be grown through the winter, especially with some frost protection. For most regions, sow seeds two weeks after the last expected frost or in late summer for a fall harvest.
How to Sow and Plant
Direct sow Mizuna seeds in the garden or in containers. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in rows spaced 18-24 inches apart, thinning seedlings to about 6-12 inches apart once they are 1 inch tall. In cooler climates, you can start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost and transplant them outside after hardening off.
How to Grow
Maintain consistent moisture with regular watering, especially during dry periods, to prevent the plants from bolting. Mulching can help retain soil moisture. Mizuna grows quickly, with leaves ready to harvest in as little as 3 weeks for baby greens and about 30-40 days for mature plants. For a continuous harvest, you can cut the leaves about 1 inch above the soil, and they will regrow​.
How to Save
Allow some plants to bolt and produce flowers. These flowers will turn into seed pods, which can be harvested once they dry out and turn brown. Hang the pods in a cool, dry place to finish drying, then crush them to collect the seeds. Store the seeds in a cool, dry place, where they can remain viable for up to four years.
FAQ
Can Japanese Pink mizuna be grown indoors?
Yes, Mizuna can be grown indoors, especially in a hydroponic setup, and it does well in containers.
Is it necessary to fertilize Japanese Pink mizuna?
Yes, Mizuna benefits from nitrogen-rich soil. Consider amending the soil with compost before planting and applying a liquid fertilizer like fish emulsion every few weeks​.
How do I prevent Japanese Pink mizuna from bolting?
To minimize bolting, plant Mizuna in cooler weather, ensure consistent soil moisture, and provide some shade if temperatures rise above 75 F​.
