Leafy brassicas — kale, pak choi, mustard and leafy greens

Leafy brassicas are the cut-and-come-again members of the cabbage family — kale, pak choi, mustard, collards and loose-leaf cabbages grown for their leaves rather than a tight head. They're some of the most productive plants in our vegetable seed range and overlap with both salad and leafy greens and the heading cabbage family. New to growing? Our vegetable growing guide is the place to start.

Want leaves from spring to winter? Many brassicas suit both spring and autumn sowings — the calendar shows the windows.

What's in this group

Browse hardy kale for winter pickings, fast oriental leaves in our Asian greens, and the wider Brassica oleracea family they all belong to. For quick baby-leaf crops, many of these also appear among our fast-growing vegetables.

Growing healthy brassicas

Brassicas love firm, fertile, limed soil — prepare the bed well with our soil guide and keep them fed using the feeding guide. Their main challenge is pests, from caterpillars to flea beetle, so our pest control guide and a little companion planting are well worth a read.

Short on space? Baby-leaf kale and pak choi crop fast in pots and troughs.
