ASIAN BROCCOLI Chinese broccoli is generally grown for the tasty sweet stalk and leaves. It generally has a narrower stalk, bigger leaves and a smaller flowerhead than its European cousins. (growing tips)

Chinese Broccoli (OP?) - The seed packet is all in Chinese, but from the picture this is a very thick tender stemmed broccoli with nice size leaves and yellow flowers. Looks exactly like the variety served at Dim Sum.
Flowering Pac-Choy
- Quick-bolting non-heading pac-choy for harvest just when flower buds open. Harvest stalks, leaves and buds 6-8" from top of plant and steam like broccoli. Delicious side dish.

Gai Lohn
- Chinese broccoli. Grows easily in heat or cold. Edible stalks, young leaves and flower buds. Eat anything above where the stem breaks easily. Fabulous with oyster sauce. Flowers white.

Yellow Flowering Pak Choi
- Bright green, tender juicy green stalks with yellow flower heads are a fantastic variety of chinese broccoli.
