Cabbage Chinese merlot seeds 10/50/100(10 Seeds)

SCIENTIFIC NAME:Brassica rapaCULTURE:Spring-planted crops: Sow 2 seeds per cell, 1/4 deep in 72-cell plug trays. If possible, keep soil temperatures above 75deg;F (24deg;C) until germination and then maintain air temperature to 60ndash;70deg;F (16ndash;21deg;C). Transplant out in 3ndash;5 weeks, around the last frost date (see BOLTING below), taking care not to disturb roots; water-in plants. Summer/fall-planted crops: Start seedlings as described above in mid to late June or direct seed from late May to mid-July as described below.DIRECT SEEDING:Sow 3ndash;4 seeds every 12ndash;18 (thin to one plant) in rows 18-30 apart from late May to mid-July.BOLTING:This crop performs best in the gradually decreasing day length and cooler temperatures of late summer, but can be grown successfully in the spring if careful attention is paid to prevent bolting. For spring and early summer transplanted crops, be sure to wait until the last frost date to transplant or direct-seed the crop. Young plants may bolt to seed prematurely if they are exposed to frost or over a week of sub 50deg;F (10deg;C) nights.
