RickCorey (Everett WA 98204 - Zone 8a) on Nov 12, 2015 5:40 PM concerning plant:
Dark green Mizuna with red stems.
Deeply divided, finely serrated leaves.
(Mild peppery mustard flavor?)
Somewhat like 'Kyona' but more finely serrated.
40 DTM. 21 days for baby leaves.
Called "a hybrid of mizuna and kyona" by Mark Mathew Braunstein in
Microgreen Garden: Indoor Grower's Guide to Gourmet Greens.
('Kyona' is said to be Brassica juncea and 'Altor' said to be B. rapa,
so if Mark is right, that's an inter-species hybrid.)
