Brassica juncea 'Red Giant'
Botanical Name
Brassica juncea 'Red Giant'
Common Name
Chinese Mustard
Family
Brassicaceae
It has been our experience that Brassica juncea 'Red Giant' grows well in our area in cool season plantings. We have found it to be a good addition to larger displays, but can become too large for smaller display beds. The color holds well and there have been no recorded issues of early bolting. To a lesser extent, there were issues noted for pest problems, but this was regulated to one garden space, while the other gardens with 'Red Giant' appeared to be pest-free and perform well.
