Mizuna Purple is a striking leafy vegetable from the popular selection of Mustard Greens. It is highly ornamental, with bright purple tones to mid-green, serrated leaves. The purple extends through the leaf up the stem, into the veins and around the deeply serrated edges. The mature height is usually 25cm by 45cm wide, although leaves may be quite loosely bunched. As the plant matures the purple colour intensifies. It has a mild, spicy mustard taste.
