Baby Shanghai Pak Choi is a compact and versatile variety known for its small, spoon-shaped leaves and crisp, juicy stems. Each plant grows to about 6-8 inches tall, making it ideal for small gardens, containers, or close planting. The tender leaves have a mild, slightly sweet flavor that is perfect for stir-fries, soups, or steaming, while the stems add crunch to fresh salads. Thriving in full sun to partial shade and nutrient-rich, well-draining soil, Baby Shanghai matures quickly in just 30-40 days, providing an early and continuous harvest. This cool-season crop performs well in spring and fall gardens, tolerating light frosts and extending your growing season. Regular harvesting of individual leaves or entire plants encourages fresh growth and ensures a steady supply of greens throughout the season. Baby Shanghai Pak Choi is easy to grow, low-maintenance, and a favorite for gardeners of all levels. Whether you’re cultivating it for its compact size, mild flavor, or quick growth, this variety is a versatile and rewarding addition to any garden.
Pak Choi - Baby Shanghai - Brassica rapa var. chinensis
Biennial grown as an annual Heirloom. Shanghai is the most popular Baby Pak Choi, for its flavor and tenderness. Vase-shaped heads grow quickly with juicy dark green leaves and pale green ribs. Heat tolerant but it will bolt in summer heat, or if the temperature drops below 50°F for a week.
Did You Know?‚ÄÇPak choi can be pickled, braised, stir-fried, or steamed.
Soil & Water:‚ÄÇPak Choi prefers rich, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-7.5. Add plenty of organic matter. Provide regular, even moisture to avoid bitterness. This is a popular grower in cool climate areas.
Planting & Growing:‚ÄÇStart in trays indoors 2-3 weeks before the last frost. Direct seed at the end of summer for a fall crop. Direct seeded spring crops often bolt too soon. Succession plant every 2 weeks for continuous crops. Shanghai grows best in cool temperatures with full sun, but can also grow in part-shade during the summer.
Harvesting & Storage:‚ÄÇBegin harvesting individual leaves after the center rosette has begun to develop, or harvest the whole head. Drying allows this highly perishable vegetable to be stored for winter months. To dry, dip the leaves in boiling water and hang them in the sun for several days.

Love this Compost! My garden does great every year and it's because of
this great Compost Mix. I would not use anything else.
Great dirt and great communication
Started a new garden and it seems to be helping all of my new starter plantings
Product was great! Ordered some seeds as part of a gift along with a gardening apron. Was a quality item, arrived quickly and it was a big hit!
Super fast service and answered all my questions!
Great service each time I used them, 3 times now.
He delivered great organic topsoil the same day. Excellent subsurface for sod. Friendly and fast, very careful during delivery.
The mulch was great. No junk in it like the bagged stuff. AsS with all outdoor projects weather is a thing. They were understanding of delays and changes.. And when the day came for delivery, there was plenty of communication and showed up on time. Plus the price was right!
I am very happy with my soil purchase! Great company to do business with! I highly recommend!
It works well. I just wish it had some residual to it so I wouldn't have to spray every few weeks.
Good and high quality, best pants from a soil company ive ever bought.
If you want a quick turn around when ordering soil, this is your guy. If you want someone to dump soil where YOU want it, this is your guy. If you want someone to sell you good soil instead of sand and broken up pallets, this is your guy. It seems weird that a guy and his wife would be so excited about dirt, I know. But we were. It’s the beginning of a big transformation for our house. So we ordered this, I think on and Saturday and surprisingly he said he could deliver it on Monday! So Monday, we woke up and literally wished each other a happy dirt day. I went to work and sure enough, he showed up on time and dumped the dirt exactly where we were hoping. And when I got home I walked over and before I could get there, you could smell the organic material in the dirt. Our plants will love this. Excellent quality. Excellent transaction. Excellent service. Couldn’t be happier.
Happy with the soil and delivery was when expected, would use again
