'Red Frills' Mustard

‘Red Frills’ mustard is too robust for inclusion with other greens in my garden so I relegate it to a clay pot. This one is only six inches across but it provides abundant lacy additions to my salads.

I especially like the contrast of the chartreuse stems, peppery punch and frilly texture.

The saved seed I planted was five years old so I sowed it thickly. No need. I could cut some for micro greens. Growing some of my winter crops in containers works well for me. Currently I also have Tuscan baby leaf kale, rainbow chard and arugula thriving in 12 inch containers. Just the right amount growing for my needs leaving more room in the garden for other winter favorites.
