With its nutty, light peppery flavour and deeply lobed leaves, this fast- growing variety matures in 4 - 7 weeks, depending on the time of year. It's an easy way to add some healthy greens to your meals, especially salads, pizza or pasta dishes.
Sow direct where they are to grow. Cover lightly with Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix, press down and keep moist.
Grow in full sun or part shade, in a well-drained position. Enrich the soil by mixing Yates Thrive Natural Blood & Bone into the soil before sowing. Apply Yates Thrive All Purpose Soluble Fertiliser at weekly intervals. Protect plants from snails and slugs.
Sowing seeds every few weeks will ensure continuous supply. Harvest regularly while tender, for best flavour. Great to grow with other salad ingredients such as basil, lettuce, cucumber, beetroot, radish and carrots.
