Pac Choi and Choi Sum
Pac Choi (sometimes spelled "Bok Choy") and Choi Sum are two Chinese vegetables of the species Brassica rapa, so they're related to the mustards, and more distantly, the cabbages. These two vegetables are amazingly easy - they germinate and grow so quickly that it's all about timing. They can be harvested as baby greens or as full sized plants, but always before they bolt and form flowers.
Pac Choi is an urn-shaped plant, with thick, succulent petioles (stems) that may be white or light green, topped by deep green, tasty leaves. If you eat the leaves raw, the mild mustard taste is a bit stronger, but they are perfect for stir-frying. The petioles remain crisp, while the leaves cook down, a bit like spinach.
Ching Chiang
Brassica oleraceae var. chinensis
Also known as Shanghai Pac Choi, this is a beautiful little vase-shaped plant. This early baby pac choi is mild and tender with medium-green leaves on pale-green, spoon-shaped stalks (petioles). Bred to be tolerant to heat, rain, cold, and dampness, Ching Chiang is a great variety for early spring planting under cover and for late summer plantings in mild-winter areas. Harvest when 15cm (6") tall.

Jade Spring
Brassica rapa var. chinensis

The incredible flavour will have you eating it raw, straight out of the garden, before it can be cut for stir-fries, salads, or soups.

Brassica oleraceae var. chinensis
Dark-green leaves are supported by glowing, thick, sweet, white stalks that are mild and juicy with hardly a hint of mustard. Plant grows to 45cm (18"). Space 60cm (12") and harvest promptly. Cover with cloche if planting in very early spring, as plants will bolt if seedlings are exposed to cold temperatures. In summer, plant short rows and harvest promptly before it bolts. The mature plant is somewhat cold-hardy, so plant again in late summer.

Yu Tsai Sum

Grown for tender flower bud stalks (yellow flowers) and glossy, bright green leaves, it is mild and sweet when cooked briefly. Stems will be 0.5-1cm (¼-½) thick if grown and watered well. This variety was tops in our trials for both taste and texture. For large plants, sow in rows 30-45cm (12-18") apart.
