Shop the highest quality Florida Broadleaf Mustard seeds for a bountiful and flavorful harvest. If you want a green that grows fast and produces a massive amount of food, Florida Broadleaf is the undisputed champion. This classic heirloom is famous for its large, oval, saw-toothed leaves that are a vibrant, rich green. At The Seed Guy, we recommend this variety because it strikes the perfect balance of flavor—it has that signature mustard "zing" without being overwhelmingly spicy, making it ideal for steaming, sautéing, or a traditional Southern pot of greens.
In the garden, Florida Broadleaf is a rugged and reliable performer. It is exceptionally quick to mature, often providing baby greens in just a few weeks. It is a fantastic companion plant for asparagus and cucumbers, and its broad leaves help shade the soil, keeping it moist.

Florida Broadleaf Mustard Planting Instructions:
1. When to Plant: Mustard thrives in cool weather. Sow seeds 4-6 weeks before the last spring frost, or in late summer for a fall harvest. It can handle a light frost, which often makes the leaves even sweeter!
2. Preparation: Mustard prefers well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Work in a light application of balanced fertilizer or compost before sowing.
3. Sowing: Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep. For a continuous harvest, plant new seeds every 2 weeks until the weather turns hot.
4. Care: Keep the soil consistently moist to prevent the leaves from becoming too spicy or tough. Thin the plants to 6-10 inches apart to allow the broad leaves to reach their full size.
5. Pests and Diseases: Cabbage Loopers and Flea Beetles are the most common pests for mustard greens. Using a lightweight row cover can protect young seedlings. To avoid clubroot and other soil-borne diseases, always practice a 3-year crop rotation with your brassica family plants.
