- Katlyn S.WI, United StatesVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5/4/26Sprouts quickly
I was surprised to see that these seeds sprouted so quickly. Put them in soil then next day they sprouted out of the soil. I can't wait to see how they look when they're bigger!

Did not germinate at all after planting 3-29. Have replanted 4-19 and covered with hoops and frost cloth.

- Ray W.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars12/28/25Simply excellent
I greatly prefer Baby Choi to regular Bok or Pak Choi. It is easier to manage in my raised bed gardens due to its smaller size. I also like the flavor better. It also seems to resist bolting better than the normal size choi's but that may be because its smaller size means it gets shaded more by taller Romaine lettuces surrounding it. It is a staple in my salads and stir fry's. Oh, and it does exceptionally well in containers.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review of our Baby Choi Bok Choy Seeds! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that you prefer Baby Choi over the regular varieties - it really is such a fantastic choice for raised bed gardening with that perfect compact size! Your observation about the bolting resistance is spot on, and we love that you've found the perfect companion planting setup with your Romaine lettuces providing that natural shade protection. It's wonderful to hear that it's become a staple in both your salads and stir frys, and that it's thriving in containers too! Thank you for choosing us and for sharing your growing expertise with us. Keep on growing 🌻️
- AmyRated 3 out of 5 stars9/23/25Where are the thick white stem?
This looks nothing like Bok Choy. Did I do something wrong? There are hardly any white stems. Very thin. First time growing fall crops and bok choy. I guess the taste is similar but leaves got too large and tough as I kept waiting and expecting the stems to grow more
