70-85 days. Cool season annual. This is a red hybrid Chinese Cabbage that everyone has been talking about. Exterior leaves are pink color and interior leaves are red-purple. Prepare fertile, well drained soil. Plant in full sun after last frost. Prefers cooler temperatures and best transplanted in early spring or late summer/early fall. Exposing plants to frost or prolonged temperatures below 50°F may result in bolting. Note: Chinese Cabbage requires vernalization. Bud differentiation and bolting results from low temperatures of 41°F for a week or 50°F for two weeks. For spring harvest, transplant seedlings with 5-7 true leaves raised at 73-75°F during the day and over 53°F at night. Providing plants with adequate water after transplanting will promote faster growth.
