This Japanese heirloom is a spicy herb perfect for cooking Asian cuisine. With deep red leaves that smell like cinnamon and clove with a spicy flavor like cumin; this is a true showstopper. You can just eat the seedlings to tossed into salads, or grow them to maturity for more dynamic uses. A popular choice for adding color to pickling recipes. This variety loves sunshine.

    1. Linda Tamagni –

      I am having a hard time getting this to grow. I had it in my grow box for a month and only one seed sprouted. That plant is barely above soil level.

    2. Valerie Howden –

      Not sure why but my seedlings died early on. Will try again for fall planting to avoid hot weather.

    3. Linda Tamagni –

      I have tried numerous times to grow this. I have tried starting inside and direct seeding outside. Either one or two seeds sprout and die or no seeds sprout.

      I have tried 2 years straight. With very low germination one or 2 plants out of 20.then they die. Hoping year 3 will produce better going to coddle these indoor as well as direct sowing outdoors. Going to see if I get any better results

      Direct sowed them in the fall and forgot all about them until the winter snow melted and I had these beautiful red plants. Took a while for them to mature but totally worth it.
