Ideal soil temperature for germination is 75°-85°F. Persistent temperatures of 50°F or below while plants are young can cause bolting (premature flowering), cover as necessary.
When to Start Inside: 4 to 6 weeks before your average last frost date transplanting after your average last frost date, and 4 to 6 weeks before transplanting outdoors in summer for a fall crop. Sow in biodegradable pots to avoid root disturbance. Mild Climates: Sow in fall for a cool-season harvest.

Row Spacing: 24"–30"
Thinning: When 3" tall, thin (and eat!) to 1 every 12"–18"
Growing Info
Harvesting: Harvest heads when they are well developed, firm, and solid when squeezed. Cut off heads at base with a sharp knife. Cabbages left in the ground beyond maturity are more subject to disease and splitting. Harvest in the morning if possible. If harvested in the heat, dunk in ice water to reduce "field heat" and increase storage time. Allow to drain before storing.

This is the first time I have grown this Napa Cabbage. Planted seeds Sept 3 in the Atlanta area and as the package said, I am harvesting BIG cabbages about 50 days later. I am searching for stuffed cabbage recipes as I need to use what I don't end up sharing with neighbors. Will definitely grow this seed again in the spring.

Not the first time i buy one kilo from botanical Interest and I’m pretty sure i was short changed, or is it that you reduced the weight of seeds per pack. And again i will comment about past shiso seed purchase that had a poor germination % close to cero, please make this right, I’ve bought thousands of dollars in seeds from botanical interest and about 50 dlls worth have been bad seeds. Best regards.

These were fun to grow. 100% germination. Started them in hydroponic system, then transferred to my greenhouse! They look great.
