Frizzy Lizzy Mustard Seeds

Frizzy Lizzy Mustard (Brassica juncea) is an eye-catching mustard green that combines outstanding ornamental beauty with exceptional garden performance. Its finely cut, deeply fringed bright green leaves resemble delicate lace, creating one of the most attractive foliage displays in the cool-season vegetable garden. Beneath its elegant appearance lies a wonderfully mild mustard flavor with just enough peppery zest to add excitement to salads and cooked dishes. Fast growing, highly productive, and remarkably easy to cultivate, Frizzy Lizzy is equally at home in raised beds, decorative containers, and traditional vegetable gardens.

Flavor & Culinary Uses

The delicate foliage has a fresh, mildly spicy flavor that is less intense than many traditional mustard greens. Young leaves are excellent in gourmet salads, sandwiches, wraps, and mixed greens, while mature foliage is delicious lightly sautéed, stir-fried, steamed, or added to soups and pasta dishes. The finely divided leaves also make an attractive garnish for vegetable platters and fresh meals.

Growing Information

Frizzy Lizzy thrives during the cool temperatures of spring and fall. Sow seeds directly into fertile, well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Plants mature quickly and can be harvested continuously by picking the outer leaves while allowing the center to continue producing. Cool weather encourages the finest flavor, and a light frost naturally sweetens the foliage.
