Bright green ruffled leaves with a moderately hot mustard flavor that mellows beautifully when cooked. This cultivar refuses to bolt in summer heat while maintaining excellent cold tolerance, allowing you to extend your harvest across seasons in almost any climate. From baby leaf stage through full maturity, Greenwave stays productive and flavorful without the bitter notes that sometimes plague other mustard varieties.
Greenwave shines both as a tender baby leaf for fresh salads and as a full-sized cooking green. Young leaves offer a peppery bite in mixed greens, while mature leaves transform into silky, mellow greens when sautéed, steamed, or braised. The moderate heat mellows significantly with cooking, making this variety friendly for those who want mustard flavor without overwhelming spice.

Sow Greenwave seeds directly into garden soil when temperatures are between 50 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. In cooler climates, plant during summer for fall harvest; in warmer regions, sow in spring or fall for best results.
Begin harvesting Greenwave 30 to 39 days after sowing, once leaves reach usable size. Pick outer leaves first to encourage continued growth, or harvest the entire plant when it reaches full maturity. Baby leaves can be harvested earlier for a milder salad green, while mature leaves offer bolder mustard flavor.
