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.
