Known as Chinese broccoli, Chinese kale, or Gai Lan, Crown Jade plants are grown for their nutritious dark green leaves and sweet, tender stems. Harvest stems when they are 1-2cm (.4-.75”) thick, just before the flower buds open. Easy to grow and very delicious.
Timing: Direct sow every few weeks starting after the last frost date. On the Coast gai lan can be sown from April through September. Seeds will germinate in 7-10 days. Optimal temperature for germination: 10-30°C (50-85°F).
Starting: Direct sow gai lan seeds in a shallow trench and bury so they are 5mm (1/4") deep. Water with a mist sprayer or through a fine rose watering can. Thin seedlings to stand about 15-30cm (6-12") apart. Gai lan can also be grown densely in containers and treated as a cut-and-come-again crop of baby leaves.
