Description
The Mizuna 'Prim' is a fast-growing, vigorous variety of Asian cabbage. It is used in Japanese mesclun salads. It is consumed young in salads or later cooked like spinach or stir-fried. Sow from March to September for spring and autumn harvests.
Japanese mustards are vegetable plants that belong, like their European counterparts, to the large family of Brassicaceae and are named after the Brassica species. These cabbages, which were hardly found in specialised shops just a few years ago, are gradually gaining ground in our markets and gardens, much to the delight of Asian cuisine enthusiasts. They are biennial plants grown as annuals that are full of qualities, both in terms of taste and nutrition. From a dietary point of view, they are remarkable: low in calories, they are very rich in vitamins C, A, potassium, and calcium. In food, these cabbages can be consumed raw or quickly stir-fried in a wok.
Harvest: It is harvested as needed. If the plant is well established, cutting off all the leaves at the collar level allows for regrowth.
Storage: It can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days.
The gardener's tip: To limit watering, we recommend mulching the soil with thin successive layers of grass clippings, preferably mixed with dead leaves, once the plants are well developed. This protection, which keeps the soil moist, also reduces weeding.
Untreated or "NT" seeds come from conventionally grown plants (often with the use of pesticides), but they undergo no treatment after harvest. These seeds are allowed in organic market gardening when organic seeds are out of stock.

Planting and care
Sowing:
Sowing period: in open ground from March to September
Harvest period: spring and autumn
You can proceed with direct sowing in place or prepare seedlings that will then be installed in the garden in their final location.
Preparation of seedlings: Under shelter in early spring or in a nursery in the garden for the rest of the year (according to the recommended sowing period), sow the seeds to a depth of 1 to 2 cm (0 to 1in) in a good seed compost or a fine soil. Lightly cover with compost and remember to keep the substrate moist but not waterlogged.
When the young plants appear strong enough to be handled, transplant them into pots if necessary before transplanting them into the garden, when there is no longer any risk of frost. During planting, respect the recommended spacing for direct sowing.
Direct sowing: In properly amended and finely worked soil, make furrows about one or two centimetres deep, spaced 20 centimetres (8 inches) apart. Sow the seeds and cover them with a thin layer of fine soil. When the seedlings are well developed, thin them out, keeping only one plant every 20 centimetres (8 inches).
Cultivation:
Asian mustards are grown in the sun. It is a demanding vegetable that requires well-fertilised soil, rich in nitrogen and potassium. It is advisable to make a generous compost addition (about 3/4 kg per m2), by raking to a depth of 5 cm (2in), preferably in autumn, after having, as with any vegetable crop, well loosened the soil. It is not very tolerant of soil pH, which should be between 5.6 and 6.5. In acidic soil, it will be necessary to gradually raise this pH by making calcium additions in the form of Dolomite or Lime.
Beware of pests such as Cabbage White Butterfly or Flea Beetles and consider installing insect netting.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
