These sweet, crisp napa cabbages are ideal for salads and a mainstay of the stir-fry. Big, broad, barrel-shaped, and pale green heads are tightly packed and up to 2.2kg (5lb) after trimming. China Express has good bolt resistance and excellent uniformity.
For full-sized heads sow in summer with the last planting 10 weeks before frost. Established plants are vigorous and will stand in the field or garden until freezes get severe.
