Chinese Broccoli - Kailaan (150 seeds)

Chinese Broccoli - Kailaan

Chinese Broccoli 'Kailaan' is a fast-growing Asian brassica and a staple of Chinese cooking, producing firm, glossy stems with dark green leaves and small white flower heads. The flavour is mildly bitter with a pleasant sweetness that develops when steamed or stir-fried, making it a versatile and widely used vegetable in Asian-inspired cooking. A practical and productive crop that suits both home gardens and container growing.

Quick to mature and easy to manage, Kailaan performs well across a long growing season and can be harvested multiple times from the same plant. Cutting above the lowest leaves encourages side shoots and repeat harvests, extending the productive life of each plant considerably.
