Mustard is one of our favorite crops for growing at the farm and in gardens because its so easy to take care of, fast growing, and tasty. Arugula is the most popular variety of mustard for some reason but there are dozens of other cool ones that taste just the same, grow just as well and come in cool shapes and colors. This blended 6 pack of plants contains fun purple mustards like serrated Miz America, frilly Scarlet Frills, and purple stemmed & lime green mizuna.
Give this plant 1 foot spacing if you’re going to let it get big and mature, or plant it 4 - 6 inches apart for baby leaf harvest. Leaves of mustards can be harvested at any age or size however the smaller the leaf the better it is for fresh eating in salad. Larger leaves will be quite spicy so they are best used in cooking.

Plant Care
Plant Care
When your plant delivery arrives, make sure you water your new plants thoroughly with a light spray of water (none of this thumb over the hose stuff). We recommend planting them within 10 days of receiving them. If you do intent to wait to plant them, we recommend placing them in a shallow reservoir (like a baking pan) and filling it with half an inch of water so they can drink the water from below while you are at work and place them in an area with plenty of sun. When planting in your garden always add a dash of Organic granular fertilizer, and give them extra water during their first week in their new home, while they adjust. We recommend disturbing the root ball as little as possible during planting.
