Growing Information
Growing Komatsuna (Japanese Mustard Spinach)
‘Komatsuna’ is an open-pollinated leafy green prized for its mild mustard flavor, tender texture, and impressive adaptability. Nearly as sweet as spinach but easier to grow, plants provide edible leaves, stems, and flower heads.
Sow ‘Komatsuna’ directly in the garden about ¼ inch deep and space plants about 12 inches apart. Grow in full sun. This hardy, heat-tolerant variety performs especially well across a broad range of conditions.
Ready to harvest in about 35 days, pick leaves at the size you prefer, choosing younger growth for the most tender texture.
Mild, tender, and versatile, ‘Komatsuna’ is especially well suited to braising, fresh eating, sautéing, and everyday cooking.

I planted this in my hydroponic garden and it terminated in two days. It is a wonderful spicy spinach. That goes great with my salad greens.

We tried them this fall in zone 7. We love these cooked as collard or turnip greens. They are very easy to grow. Taste is similar to collards, but much more tender.
