Chinese cabbage 'Shanghai'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Shanghai is thought of as tender, so it is imperative to wait until temperatures are mild before planting out of doors. Shanghai needs a loamy soil with a ph of 6.1 to 7.8 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Ensure a distance of 9.75 inches (25.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - look to sow at a depth of approximately 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 Shanghai about 14 days before your last frost date.

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