Moutard Rouge Metis is a leaf mustard with green stems and very decorative deep red serrated leafs.
It is a vigorous and cold hardy variety that is very easy to grow. It can typically be overwintered indoors for an all year harvest.
It has nice medium sharp mustard-like flavours.
The French name is interesting since translates as “red mustard mix” which may indicate that the variety is a bit more genetically diverse than cultivated varieties tend to be.
Harvest at 20 cm height for cut and come again.
