The combination of dark purple foliage with bright green stems creates striking contrast in both garden beds and on the plate. At just 21 days to harvest, Red Kingdom Asian Green is remarkably fast, allowing multiple successions within a single growing season. The cut-and-come-again system means you can harvest leaves at 3 to 6 inches and return to the same plant for fresh growth 5 to 14 days later, making one sowing work multiple times over.
As a tender leafy green, Red Kingdom Asian Green is harvested young for fresh eating. The leaves work beautifully in salads, stir-fries, and Asian noodle dishes where their mild flavor and delicate texture shine. The bright green stems add visual appeal and a subtle sweetness to mixed greens and sautéed preparations.

Direct sow Red Kingdom Asian Green into prepared beds with pH 6 to 7.5. Successive sowings every 2 to 3 weeks ensure continuous harvests throughout the season.
Begin harvesting leaves when they reach 3 to 6 inches in length, roughly 21 days after sowing. Use a sharp knife to cut individual leaves above the basal plate rather than harvesting the entire plant. This cut-and-come-again approach allows for secondary harvests approximately 5 to 14 days after the first cutting, depending on growing conditions and season. Continue harvesting as desired until plants bolt or decline.
