Keep pots and containers moist. If planting directly in the garden be sure to apply mulch to help keep the soil cool.

Oriental Chrysanthemum Chopsuey Greens

This form of edible Chrysanthemum has a sweet herbal taste; pick the first tender leaves about 40 days after sowing. Leaves are at their best when they are young and picking leaves regularly will encourage a bushier plant. Older leaves can become bitter as they age, or if the plant is left to flower. All is not lost if your plant blooms, as the flower petals are also edible and along with the leaves are used in a variety of Asian dishes. Plants dislike high temperatures so some degree of shade is recommended in summer.
