Oriental Chrysanthemum Chopsuey Greens [59545]

Glebionis coronaria

This form of edible Chrysanthemum has a sweet herbal taste; pick the first tender leaves about 40 days after sowing.

Leaves are at their best when they are young and picking leaves regularly will encourage a bushier plant.  Older leaves can become bitter as they age, or if the plant is left to flower.

$3.00

All is not lost if your plant blooms, as the flower petals are also edible and along with the leaves are used in a variety of Asian dishes.  Plants dislike high temperatures so some degree of shade is recommended in summer.
