500 Seeds Southern Giant Curled Mustard Heirloom Leafy Vegetable

Southern Giant Curled Mustard is a classic heirloom leafy green known for its large, frilly, bright green leaves with a crisp, slightly peppery flavor. It grows quickly and reliably, producing vigorous, upright plants that are ready to harvest in a matter of weeks, making it a favorite for home gardeners and market growers alike.

The curled, textured leaves add volume and interest to salads, sandwiches, and stir-fries, and they are equally at home in soups and braised dishes where they hold their shape well. For a continuous supply, sow successionally through cool weather. Leaves may be harvested young for a mild taste or left to mature for a bolder, spicier bite.
