Both tasty and nutritious, this variety,
Comred F1, has rich ruby red leaves that contrast beautifully with their green stems: it grows well from late spring to early autumn and makes a lovely addition to salads and sandwiches. Mature leaves can be shredded into a stir fry or steamed.SOW: can be started in modules from late spring to late summer, or sow thinly where they are to grow. A good choice for CCA use (CCA is cut-&-come-again). Make several sowings for a supply through to autumn.
GROW: transplant at the 2/3 leaf stage and space at 10cm for small plants, or up to 35cm apart if you want to grow larger plants. Komatsuna can be harvested as a cut and come again (by leaving a short length of stem to resprout), or at any stage from small to large.
ENJOY: through the summer and, as these are hardy, the late sowings will crop well into the winter.

Harvesting June to January
For Komatsuna ‘Comred’ (a beautiful red-purple Japanese mustard spinach), the ideal Square Foot Gardening (SFG) spacing depends entirely on how large you want the plants to grow before harvesting. Because Komatsuna grows mostly upward rather than outward, you have a lot of flexibility.
