Miz America is an F1 hybrid mustard green that delivers exceptionally dark red, deeply lobed leaves in just 28 days from sowing. This compact variety brings striking visual drama to cool-season gardens, with a growth habit that keeps plants tidy and manageable. You can start harvesting individual leaves when they reach 3 to 6 inches, or let plants mature for a full cutting, and the cut-and-come-again nature means you'll get multiple harvests from a single planting.

The deep crimson foliage with intricate lobing makes Miz America as beautiful as it is practical. At just 28 days to the first harvest, this hybrid turns around faster than most mustard greens, and its compact growth habit means it doesn't sprawl across your garden bed. The real payoff comes from the leaf structure: those deeply lobed edges increase surface area for tender, succulent leaves that reach full flavor quickly.
Miz America works beautifully as a fresh salad green, where its deep red color adds visual pop to mixed greens. The tender, lobed leaves also cook down nicely, making it a strong choice for sautés, stir-fries, and braised greens dishes where mustard's characteristic peppery bite enhances the overall flavor.

Direct sow seeds into prepared garden soil when soil temperatures are between 50 and 75°F. Miz America germinates quickly in these conditions and reaches harvestable size in just 28 days. For continuous harvests, stagger sowings every 2 to 3 weeks.
Begin harvesting when leaves reach 3 to 6 inches in size, about 28 days after sowing. Using a sharp knife, cut leaves above the basal plate rather than pulling them, which encourages the plant to produce new growth for cut-and-come-again harvests. Continue cutting at desired plant size every 5 to 14 days depending on growing conditions and season to maintain tender leaves.
