Osaka Purple

This is a deep purple mustard green, with amazingly huge oval leaves that are purple and green with white veins. They make a big rosette and eventually a heart as well. 

We like this because it is cold-hardy – sow it after midsummer for use overwinter.

This nice seed from Frank & Karen Morton was specifically bred for home gardeners. It is a particularly vigorous variety, growing on well even in less than ideal weather, and very cold-hardy, standing on into winter.

Hot and spicy raw, tasty and mild cooked.
