Michihili Napa Cabbage
Seed Count: Approx. 300 seeds Days to Maturity: 55-100 Days Description: Michihili cabbage is a semi-heading Chinese heirloom ideal for pickling, stir fries, hot pots, and my absolute favorite, kimchi. The flavor is sweet, delicate, mild, tender, and best of all, delicious. It's my absolute favorite cabbage to eat. It grows upright, cylindrical, loose, 6-8 inch wide, tapering heads that can grow up to 18 inches tall! Its long, crisp leaves are creamy with well blanched centers, and light to dark green tips. Michihili has a crinkled savoyed texture, with white veins and a prominent rib that gets wider towards the base (about 3-4 inches). This cabbage is super easy to grow, and a must for any home gardener that enjoys cooking Asian cuisines. Mint2Grow Tip: Cabbage thrives in cooler weather, but I have managed to get a small head from it in my zone 10b, by timing the planting just right. It doesn't make a tight head, and tends to be more of a loose leaf type, but I enjoy eating i
