All-America Selections has named Mizuna Red Kingdom a National Winner. This is the first time that a Mizuna (Japanese mustard) has been named a winner. This edible maintains its beautiful reddish-purple foliage all season long. It is a well-behaved plant that does not bolt like other mustards. We love that this edible is at home in the kitchen garden as well as the container garden or tucked into a border garden for great punctuations of color. This mild-tasting mustard produces a higher yield than other varieties and holds its own in the summer heat.
