Description

The listing, Rapini Seeds has ended.

Heirloom rapini seeds. Taste is between wild broccoli and mustard (but not as bitter).

They prefer cooler climates like zone 5-6, but can be grown elsewhere. Typically just broadcast spread them in the fall (about 6-8 weeks before first frost) or you can plant first thing in the spring - they will start to grow when conditions are favorable.

My favorite way to eat them is to boil for 3 minutes and then saute in olive oil and garlic. You can then chop them up and toss them with pasta as well.

If you like mustard greens or wild brocolli you should like it.

could be planted in pots? Water, soil, partial sun?

Umm, haven't tried that, I don't see why not, but I would plant them in the spring rather than the fall. They are not too picky in terms of soil and they like moist soil when developing the heads. I plant them in full sun, but atleast 5-6 hours should be ok.
