Growing Instructions: Full to part sun, moderate water.
Grows best in cooler months – they are moderately hardy annuals and can be sown from early spring through midsummer. Bok Choy does not like having its roots disturbed, so direct sowing is usually best. However, planting in trays is fine if proper care is taken, this is usually best done if you want to get an early start or protect the early seedlings from snails and other pests. Direct sow after the threat of frost has passed, and keep seeds moist until germination. Plant using well-draining soil, planting a couple of seeds per group spacing groups out 6-12in (15-30 cm). You can also plant seeds in mid to late summer (depending on your zone) for a fall harvest. Keep in mind warm weather will make Bok Choy bolt, and the leaves will lose flavor and become bitter.
