This packet of QD-2 Express Pak Choi seeds offers Brassica pekinensis, a hybrid Asian cabbage variety perfect for home gardeners interested in fast-growing greens. With about 600 non-GMO F1 hybrid seeds, it suits vegetable enthusiasts planting in late spring, summer, or fall, delivering baby Taiwan Pak Choy in 30-35 days or full Wa Wa Tsai heads in 50 days.
