300 Seeds Chinese Broccoli Kailaan Brassica alboglabra Vegetable Garden

Chinese Broccoli Kailaan is a traditional leafy green also known as Chinese kale or Gai Lan, grown for its tender stems, broad leaves, and small flower buds. A staple in Asian cuisine, it is appreciated by home gardeners for its quick growth, upright habit, and reliable yields in cool-season gardens.

Harvest young leaves and stems for stir-fries, soups, and steamed dishes, or allow buds to develop for a more broccoli-like texture. Plants grow best in cool weather and can be sown in spring or fall for successive harvests. Keep soil evenly moist and space plants for good airflow.
