What a perfect name for this colorful bok choy mix. Absolutely vibrant shades of magenta violet, purple, and rose pink color the succulent petioles, sometimes the leaf veins, sometimes the entire leaf. The color is bright and eye-catching, the flavor is mild and juicy, and it makes a terrific addition to salad mix, sandwiches, or light cooking. A little ruffle to the leaf edges gives it a fancy look, and gives a good texture in salad. Use the flower stems like a milder, juicier broccoli. Color develops most fully in cool weather--fall plantings are great for bright colors and winter hardiness down to about 20 degrees. Another wonderful new traditionally-bred variety from Frank Morton, Oregon farmer/breeder. An OSSI-pledged open-source variety. 28 days baby, 48 days full-size. 100 seeds

The Open Source Seed Initiative exists so that breeders who originate new varieties an protect them from exploitation and patenting by corporations. It means that the breeder has freely given up her patent rights in order to keep the variety in the public domain forever. The OSSI pledge reads: "You have the freedom to use these OSSI-pledged seeds in any way you choose. In return, you pledge not to restrict others' use of these seeds or their derivatives, by patents or other means, and to include this pledge in any transfer of these seeds or their derivatives."
