Red Giant lives up to its name with broad, burgundy‑over‑green leaves and a horseradish snap that livens up sandwiches and sautés. Bred in Japan, it tolerates chill and even light frosts, turning sweeter as temperatures drop. Mustard greens are rich in antioxidants and vitamins A and K, a true cold‑weather tonic. Cut individual leaves or harvest whole heads; the plant will push new growth if you leave the crown. Grow a patch for fall cooking or mix a few plants into ornamental beds—the color earns its spot even if you never cook a leaf.

Plant seeds directly into the garden starting 4-6 weeks before average last frost date continuing until about that date. You can also start seeds indoors 5-7 weeks before transplanting. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 45-75 degrees. Mustard greens are a cool season crop so avoid letting it mature in hot weather. High temperatures slow plant growth and make the leaves tough and bitter. Grow it in the spring, then again in the fall. Succession plantings every at 2 weeks intervals will provide a steady supply.
