Asian Delight Green is a fast-maturing F1 hybrid pac choi that delivers tender, harvestable leaves in just 37 days. This slow-bolting variety features the classic white stems and dark green leaves that define quality Asian greens, bred specifically to resist the premature flowering that plagues other pac choi in temperature-sensitive conditions. It's a bush-type cultivar that works equally well in spring, summer, or fall gardens, making it one of the most reliable pac choi options for gardeners looking for speed and stability.

This hybrid pac choi finishes in just 37 days, making it one of the quickest Asian greens you can grow. The white-stemmed architecture is clean and uniform, bred to resist premature bolting even when seedlings face the cold stress that typically triggers flowering in lesser varieties. Its bush growth habit means it won't sprawl across your bed, and the slow-bolting characteristic gives you a generous harvest window before the plant commits to flowering.
Asian Delight Green is grown for its tender young leaves and crisp white stems, which are harvested before flowering and used fresh in stir-fries, soups, and salads. The compact size and rapid maturity make it especially valuable for succession planting, allowing gardeners to sow every two weeks for continuous harvests through the season.
No timeline data available yet for this variety.
Start seeds in 128 or 72-cell trays, sowing 2 to 4 weeks before you plan to transplant. Keep seedlings at temperatures above 50°F (10°C), especially avoiding multiple nights below that threshold, as cold stress during the seedling stage can trigger premature bolting. Plant out seedlings before they become rootbound or stressed to prevent bolting.
Transplant seedlings into the garden or high tunnel before they become rootbound. Space plants appropriately for the pac choi's bush growth habit, and avoid transplanting into cold soil or exposing transplants to extended periods below 50°F (10°C). Once plants have progressed past the seedling stage, cold temperatures no longer cause bolting, so fall plantings in protected structures are viable.
Harvest Asian Delight Green before the plant flowers, typically around 37 days from transplanting or sowing. Look for fully formed white stems and dark green leaves at their peak tenderness. Cut or harvest the entire plant at the base, or selectively harvest outer leaves if you prefer a longer picking window, though the plant should be gathered before any flowering begins to maintain eating quality.
