Growing Tips

 Southern Giant Curled mustard prefers cool weather and can tolerate light freezes. For best results, plant in full sun to partial shade, 6-12 hours of sun daily, and ensure the soil is well-drained and rich in organic matter. Regular watering is essential to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

When to Grow

Southern Giant Curled mustard should be planted in early spring or late summer to early fall. In most US zones, planting is ideal from March to April and again from August to September. Check local frost/freeze dates to optimize planting times.

How to Sow and Plant

Sow seeds directly into the garden 1/4 inch deep, spaced 6 inches apart in rows 12-18 inches apart. Thin seedlings to 6-8 inches apart to allow for proper growth.

How to Grow

Maintain consistent soil moisture and mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize as needed with a balanced fertilizer. Harvest leaves when they are young and tender for the best flavor.

How to Save

Brassica juncea is capable of self pollinating, but insects can cross pollinate the flowers with other varieties of B. juncea if growing within a 2-mile radius. If saving seeds, isolate the plants from other B. juncea varieties by 2 miles.

To save the seeds, allow pods to brown, dry, and become crispy. Shake dry pods into a paper bag to remove seeds. Store seeds in a cool, dark, dry location.
