Pak Choi Seeds - Herbal Plant

Pak choi, botanically known as Brassica rapa subsp. chinensis, is a fast-growing leafy vegetable valued for its crisp stems and tender green leaves. It develops a compact rosette of smooth, spoon-shaped leaves with thick, juicy petioles and produces small yellow flowers if allowed to bolt. This plant thrives in cool to mild climates and performs best in full sun to partial shade with fertile, well-drained soil. Pak choi is commonly grown in garden beds, raised beds, and containers, where it establishes quickly from seeds and is suitable for successive planting.
