This is normally within the range 8-14cm in size. The popularity of bagged salads in recent years has risen sharply due the excellent quality of the components, and over 90% of households in the UK regularly buy their salads in this form. Viridis Hortus screen many hundreds of varieties for their suitability for the babyleaf market, examining leaf size and shape, speed of growth, size of cut area (normally stem thickness) ease of harvest, flavour, colour and general appearance, and of course shelf life after harvest. Position: Mustard grows best in a sunny position in a fertile soil. It can be sown directly into open ground or can be planted into grow bags. If grown for babyleaf it can be sown into small containers or even windowboxes. Choose a well-drained container that's at least 10 to 15cm (4 to 6in) deep. Containers may need to be watered a couple times a day when temperatures begin to warm. If growing micro-greens, seeds can be planted in shallow flats and harvested about 10 to 21 days after planting. If given adequate light, they can also be grown indoors during the winter. Cultivation: Mustard greens are primarily a cool season vegetable and are at their peak in late spring to early summer. Keep well watered especially in summer. Hot weather causes the plants to bolt and their greens to turn unpleasantly bitter. An autumn crop is often planted because mustard is frost-resistant and easily overwinters in temperate areas. Protect late sowings with cloches and the plants will keep growing throughout the winter and continue to grow vigorously when temperatures warm and daylight increases. Harvesting: 20 days for babyleaf, 45 days to maturity Mustard plants can be harvested for baby leaf once the leaves are 5cm (2in) tall. For milder leaves, pick young. ## Features - Mustard 'Red Giant' is lovely as a baby leaf, raw or cooked in stir fries and soups. This is the spiciest of the mustard leaves and tastes of horseradish. Sow these little and often and use them in a baby leaf salad, or full size in stir fries. I love a winter salad made up of these mixed with milder lettuce, topped with a crispy skinned and succulent duck breast. They look and taste fantastic and will grow outside through the winter, even under snow. - Sowing: Sow under cover February to May or sow direct April to October Mustard seeds can be sown practically all year round. Plant little and often, every two weeks for continuous supply. Seeds germinate in 5 to 10 days at temperatures between 7 to 30°C (45 to 85°F) Sow sparingly in shallow drills 6 to 12mm (¼ to ½ in) deep. Space seeds 2.5cm (1in) apart for cut-and-come-again salad or 20 to 25cm (8 to 10in) for whole plant production. Adequate spacing is most important when growing plants to full size. - Mustard plants can be harvested for baby leaf once the leaves are 5cm (2in) tall. For milder leaves, pick young, they are best cropped at around 15cm (6in) for salads. The plants will grow to around 30 to 45cm (12 to 18in) tall. Mature leaves can be boiled or steamed or braised in a pot with a little butter and garlic. - Mustard greens are primarily a cool season vegetable and are at their peak in late spring to early summer. Keep well watered especially in summer. Hot weather causes the plants to bolt and their greens to turn unpleasantly bitter. - Viridis Hortus offers discounted postage costs for multiple purchases - you only pay one postage price regardless of the mix of varieties or quantities of packets you purchase per order UK only: ## Images ![Viridis Hortus - Mustard Red Giant 4,150 (6.0g's) Vegetable Seeds - Image 1](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81pcBad9ASL.jpg) ![Viridis Hortus - Mustard Red Giant 4,150 (6.0g's) Vegetable Seeds - Image 2](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91a2e%2BuXFQL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent seeds *by H***A on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 August 2017* Bought them last monthExcellent seedHas given me Lovely BIG leaves smells wonderful. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/78851966-viridis-hortus-mustard-red-giant-4-150-6-0gs-vegetable](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/78851966-viridis-hortus-mustard-red-giant-4-150-6-0gs-vegetable) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
