Product Description

Cryptotaenia japonica atropurpurea: 1′ high x 1′ wide / full sun to half shade / zone 4

This variety may do better in full sun than the more common green mitsuba, and it adds a splash of purple to the garden and to a salad.  The leaves and stems are traditionally used in Japan to add a rich flavour to soup, and are added at the last minute as they don’t need much cooking time.  This vegetable is gaining in popularity among top chefs for its delicate, unique flavour.
