Brassica oleraceae var. albogrlabra

  • Grown for its leaves and tender stems
  • Known as Gai Lan, Chinese broccoli, or Chinese kale
  • Easy to grow
  • Matures in 50 days

Known as Chinese broccoli, Chinese kale, or Gai Lan, Crown Jade plants are grown for their nutritious dark green leaves and sweet, tender stems. Harvest stems when they are 1-2cm (.4-.75”) thick, just before the flower buds open. Easy to grow and very delicious.

Timing: Direct sow every few weeks starting after the last frost date. On the Coast gai lan can be sown from April through September. Seeds will germinate in 7-10 days. Optimal temperature for germination: 10-30°C (50-85°F).

Starting: Direct sow gai lan seeds in a shallow trench and bury so they are 5mm (1/4") deep. Water with a mist sprayer or through a fine rose watering can. Thin seedlings to stand about 15-30cm (6-12") apart. Gai lan can also be grown densely in containers and treated as a cut-and-come-again crop of baby leaves.
