Plant Propagation

Seed - surface sow from late winter to early summer in a greenhouse, making sure that the compost does not dry out[200]. When large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow them on in the greenhouse for their first winter. Plant out in late spring or early summer. Division in spring or autumn. Basal cuttings in late spring. Harvest the young shoots when about10 - 15cm long, pot up in a lightly shaded position in a greenhouse or cold frame and plant them out when well rooted. Very easy.

Feb 11 2016 12:00AM We've got this growing at home at a cooking green. It has never flowered and is usually purple. I had presumed it was umbelliferous family until it was identified from the Chinese name meaning pearl-plant. (It is not unlike eating celery leaves.) We got it from Chinese-born community gardeners who eat it. The World Vegetable Center says: "Leaves and tender stems are eaten boiled or stir-fried, or in soups."
