Why Grow Canary Yellow?

• Vivid canary-yellow veins — bright yellow stems and midribs against dark green leaves; beautiful in the garden and on the plate
• High germination rate — reliable, prolific germination; produces abundant leaves throughout the season
• Excellent flavor — mild, clean taste; outstanding steamed, sautéed, or raw in salads
• Grows to 2 feet — substantial, productive plants with large harvestable leaves
• Cut-and-come-again — harvest outer leaves regularly to promote continuous new growth
• Open-pollinated heirloom — save seed year after year

In the Kitchen

Use baby leaves raw in salads and grain bowls — the yellow veins add color contrast. Sauté mature leaves with garlic and olive oil. Steam and finish with lemon and olive oil. Add to frittatas, pasta, and soups. The yellow stems are excellent pickled in white wine vinegar.

Growing Notes

Direct sow outdoors from early spring through August. Sow ½ inch deep in fertile, moist, well-prepared soil in full sun or partial shade. Thin to 3 inches for baby leaves, 6–9 inches for full-size plants. Water consistently. Harvest outer leaves regularly to promote continuous new growth.
