At just 19 days to harvest, Red Baron Plus Asian Green moves from seed to salad faster than most greens. The red-tinged foliage is as beautiful as it is tender, and because you can harvest leaves at 3 to 6 inches and keep cutting for 5 to 14 days of regrowth, a single planting yields multiple harvests through the season. Its compact growth habit means it fits easily into containers, raised beds, or tight garden spaces.
Red Baron Plus Asian Green is harvested young as a tender salad green, prized for its delicate, feathery leaves. The mild flavor and attractive red coloring make it equally at home in raw salads, as a garnish, or lightly sautéed. Its rapid turnover and cut-and-come-again nature suit container gardeners and market growers who need continuous supply.

Sow seeds directly into garden soil or containers when soil temperatures are between 55 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Brassicas can be grown all season in the field and perform especially well in cool-season plantings.
Begin harvesting when leaves reach 3 to 6 inches in length, cutting above the basal plate with a knife rather than pulling the plant. This cut-and-come-again technique encourages regrowth, allowing you to harvest again in 5 to 14 days depending on season and growing conditions. Continue cutting at your preferred size throughout the harvest window.
