Key Features

• Red-and-Green Bi-Color, Eye-Catching Appearance: Bright red leaf centers with vibrant green edges, shaped like willow leaves—a striking color contrast that stands out clearly in the marketplace and grabs customers' attention instantly.

• Early Maturing, Short Cycle: As an early-maturing variety, it reaches harvest in approximately 35-40 days from sowing. Its fast growth allows for multiple sowings and several successions of harvests, maximizing land utilization and accelerating capital turnover.

• Thick, Tender & Refreshingly Delicious: The leaves are thick yet tender, never tough, with a pleasing texture, delicious flavor, and minimal fiber. Quick stir-frying brings out its crisp tenderness, while soups highlight its natural sweetness—delicious no matter how you cook it.

• Loves Heat & Sunlight, Vigorous Growth: Thrives in warm conditions with abundant sunshine; responds well to fertilization, with vigorous growth and higher yields when water and nutrients are ample.

• Disease Resistant & Non-Bolting, Stable Quality: Strong disease resistance and resistance to premature bolting (flowering) ensure that leaves stay tender for longer—improving marketable quality and reducing waste.

Cultivation Guidelines

• Suitable Environments: Adapts well to both open-field and protected cultivation systems (greenhouses or small hoop tunnels)—wide adaptability.

• Soil Preparation & Land Prep: Select fertile, loose, and well-draining soil. Apply a generous amount of base fertilizer (well-rotted organic manure or balanced compound fertilizer) before sowing. Deep plow, rake thoroughly, and level the seedbed.

• Sowing Method: Direct sowing is recommended. For commercial production, use approximately 500g of seed per mu. Broadcast evenly and cover lightly with a thin layer of fine soil.

• Water & Fertilizer Management: Keep soil consistently moist; ensure adequate water during the seedling stage, but avoid waterlogging.

• Pest Control: Watch out for common pests such as cutworms and cabbage caterpillars. Once detected, take prompt action through manual removal or biological control methods.
