How to grow Chinese cabbage 'Pagoda'

  • Full Sun

  • High

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Pagoda is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Pagoda needs a loamy soil with a ph of 6.1 to 7.8 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Growing Pagoda from seed

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 9.75 inches (25.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.39 inches (1.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 18°C / 64°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Pagoda about 14 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Pagoda

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Pagoda is a tender plant.
