How to propagate blue mustard

Seed propagation of blue mustard

The growing period of blue mustard is relatively short, and it can be sown multiple times in spring and autumn to extend the viewing period. For the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions, August to September is the most suitable time for sowing. In addition, although blue mustard can also be propagated by self-seeding, the overall effect of this method is likely not to be very good, and it is usually not adopted. It is generally limited to self-seeding in wild natural landscape areas.

Tuber propagation of blue mustard

The base of the roots of blue mustard becomes woody and remains so for many years, with tuberous roots that continue to multiply, sprouting new buds and continuing to flower in the second season and beyond.
