Emiko is Brassica rapa var. pekinensis, an organic F1 hybrid Chinese cabbage forming stout barrel-shaped heads 10-12 inches with mild tender leaves.
Sow 1/4 inch deep, indoors 4-6 weeks before last frost or outdoors once soil reaches 55F; germination takes 7-12 days at 65-85F. Space 12-18 inches apart in fertile soil rich in organic matter. Heads feel solid when ready, and the packet sows a 15-20 foot single row.
