China Express Hybrid Chinese Cabbage
Growing China Express Hybrid Chinese Cabbage
‘China Express’ Hybrid Chinese Cabbage is an extra-early Napa-type variety known for broad, barrel-shaped heads, crisp stems, and mild cabbage flavor. The leaves have a tender, lettuce-like texture, while the thick stems are sweet, crunchy, and well suited to both fresh and cooked dishes.
Start ‘China Express’ indoors for transplanting or sow directly in the garden for a cool-season crop. Grow plants in fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture to support quick growth and tight head development.
Harvest the heads once they are firm and well formed. ‘China Express’ is widely adapted and slow to bolt, helping extend the harvest window as conditions begin to warm.
‘China Express’ Chinese cabbage is especially well suited for stir-fries, salads, slaws, soups, and other Asian-style dishes. The variety also offers good disease resistance.
