Well-loved, fast growing green mustard with a wonderfully spicy flavour! Southern Giant Curled has light green leaves with ruffled edges that are more pronounced as leaves mature. Full size leaves will also have more heat, so harvest young for salads. Flavour is milder when cooked. A fantastic companion to the purple Giant Red mustard which has similar flavour and speed.

Mustards are cool season plants that grow quickly and then bolt. Direct sow with frost protection as early as late winter or without protection from early to late spring. Sowing short rows every 3 weeks allows for a continuous harvest of both baby leaves and full sized plants. Sow again in late summer for late fall and winter harvests. Optimal soil temperature: 21°C (70°F). Seeds should sprout in 5-10 days.

If growing to full size, sow 3-4 seeds in each spot you want a plant to grow. Sow 5mm-1cm (¼-½”) deep and thin to the strongest plant, spaced 10-15cm (4-6″) in the row. All mustards can be grown in containers for baby salad greens. Sow these as you would mesclun mixes, with seeds spaced as near as possible to 1cm (½”) apart.
