Asian Greens and Herbs That Deserve More Garden Space

Asian Greens and Herbs That Deserve More Garden Space

Asian greens and herbs earn their garden space because they move quickly from seed to kitchen. They can be stir-fried, pickled, chopped raw, used as wraps, or treated as finishing herbs.

Shiso and Aromatic Herbs

Red Shiso Britton, green shiso, and Garlic Chives bring fragrance and sharpness to rice, noodles, salads, and pickles.

Flowering and Stem Greens

Hon Tsai Tai offers tender stems and purple flowering shoots that are excellent quickly cooked.

Leafy Workhorses

Choho Hybrid, Little Shanghai Bok Choy, and Shikibu Asian Green make the garden more useful week to week.
