Garnet Giant Mustard, 6 plants

Organic Garnet Giant Mustard (Brassica juncea Garnet Giant) is a show-stopping culinary herb that brings high-contrast color and gourmet flair to the garden. It is easily recognized by its vibrant, oversized maroon leaves that sit atop brilliant lime-green stems, creating a stunning visual that looks just as good in a flower border as it does in a vegetable patch.

As a fast-growing member of the Brassica genus, Garnet Giant is prized for its "graze and braise" versatility. The entire plant is edible—the leaves, stems, and flowers all possess a sophisticated, sweet-yet-spicy flavor profile. Use the tender 20-day baby leaves to add a spicy kick and a pop of purple to fresh salads, or wait 45 days for mature leaves that are perfect for sautéing or stir-fries. Even the flowers are a culinary treat, offering a sweet and mild taste that makes them a beautiful garnish for any dish. Its superior hardiness ensures it stays productive and colorful throughout the cooler months of the growing season.

Why you’ll love it:

• Stunning Ornamental Edible: Deep maroon foliage and lime-green stems provide instant "wow" factor in garden beds.
• Fast & Productive: Harvest baby leaves in just 20 days or full-sized greens in 45 days.
• Sweet & Spicy Flavor: Offers a more complex, gourmet heat compared to standard green mustard varieties.
• Entirely Edible: Enjoy the tender leaves, crunchy stems, and sweet flowers in a variety of culinary applications.
• Pollinator Friendly: If allowed to flower, the blooms are highly attractive to beneficial bees and butterflies.

This 6-pack healthy live plant thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained, fertile soil. It is particularly well-suited for cool-season gardening, as its color often intensifies with lower temperatures. Whether you are looking to spice up your "Cut and Come Again" salad garden or simply want a beautiful, edible accent for your patio containers, Garnet Giant Mustard is a versatile and high-yielding choice.
