Ewok Pak Choi is a compact cultivar of Brassica rapa that delivers tender, harvestable greens in just 30 to 35 days from direct seeding. This cool-season crop thrives in spring and fall gardens, requiring full sun and consistently moist soil to prevent the bolting that temperature fluctuations can trigger. With a tight, space-efficient growth habit and the ability to tolerate frost, it's a practical choice for gardeners working with limited space or those in regions with shorter growing windows.

This is a fast-maturing pak choi bred for compact growth, meaning you can tuck it into small garden beds or containers without the sprawling space demands of standard varieties. The 30 to 35 day timeline makes it one of the quicker greens to reach harvest, rewarding impatient gardeners with results before midsummer heat arrives. Its frost tolerance extends your growing season into early fall and late spring when many other greens have already bolted or faded.
Ewok Pak Choi is eaten as a leafy green vegetable, harvested either as whole young plants at maturity or as individual leaves picked continuously from the base. The tender leaves are suited to light cooking, steaming, or stir-frying, and can be harvested progressively by removing the largest outer leaves first, allowing the center to continue growing.

Sow seeds 4 weeks before your anticipated transplant date for a spring crop, or in July and August for a fall crop. Maintain soil temperatures between 55 and 70°F for reliable germination.
Transplant seedlings outdoors after hardening them off, timing your spring transplant for after frost danger has passed. Transplants from July and August seed sowings will be ready for fall planting as temperatures cool.
Direct sow seeds after the danger of frost has passed for a spring crop. Fall crops can be sown from July through mid-August. Days to maturity are calculated from the date of direct seeding.
Harvest Ewok Pak Choi as soon as it reaches maturity at 30 to 35 days to avoid bolting. You can harvest the entire plant when young, or take individual leaves a few at a time, starting with the largest outer leaves and working inward to encourage continued growth from the center. Begin leaf harvesting once plants are established, allowing you to extend your harvest window across several weeks.
