Customer Reviews
Harvested my first WaWaTsai cabbage today and I am so impressed! It grew very well in zone 6b and the cabbage, after removing any bad leaves, weighed 3lbs!
Western Washington, Zone 8b. Very fast-growing, forming dense heads with mild flavor. Great for fall planting and overwintering in the garden.
I am in zone 8b Texas. I planted Wa wa Tsai indoor, I transplanted on the ground with just soil and rabbit manure from our property (no store bought soil). It grew well, it has beautiful big green leaves and I harvested last week for our stir fry. It was delicious. Today, we harvest again this Wa wa Tsai. I am pleased with the seed from Territorial seed. Thank you Territorial seed.
This grew outstanding in Western Washington... Very uniform and grew great from transplant... made great kimchi, great in rolls and stir fry... a must grow for Napa cabbage...

• For a spring crop, sow after the danger of frost
• Fall crops can be sown July—mid-August
Transplanting
• For a spring crop, start 4-5 weeks before anticipated transplant date
• Fall crops can be started from June to mid-July and set out when there are 4-5 true leaves
