Mustard greens of all types from scarlet frill to mizuna are incredibly easy to grow in Miami. If you’re a beginner or interested in eating tons of fresh greens from the garden, make sure to plant a few different varieties. We sell plants and seeds of our favorite types but there are way more colors, shapes and textures out there. Mustard is also great direct seeded and eaten young, like arugula… which fun fact: is a mustard green! If you’ve ever bought “spicy mix” from us or French Farms, that is a mix of baby bok choi, mizuna mustard, and this dark purple leaf Miz America mustard, all harvested at 21 days old.
Spunky, spicy and soulful describe the taste of mustard greens that add a pungent, peppery flavor to recipes in which they are featured. Mustard greens originated in the Himalayan region of India and have been grown and consumed for more than 5,000 years. Mustard greens are a notable vegetable in many different cuisines, ranging from Chinese to Southern American. As an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin A (in the form of carotenoids), and manganese, mustard greens give us high level support for four conventional antioxidant nutrients. But the antioxidant support provided by mustard greens extends far beyond these conventional nutrients and into the realm of phytonutrients.
Miz America is the darkest purple mustard we have ever grown. Fun fact: purple colored plants loose their color in the heat, so often times a nice dark purple leaf will show up green if planted in your Miami garden. But Miz America stays a deep dark purple through our hot winter growing season.

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.
