This has been my favorite mustard cultivar for nigh on to 70 years. It has large curled/frilly leaves which are very tender and moderately pungent. It will not stand temperature where the ground freezes but tolerates temperatures into the 2o's F. Grows well and tastes good, what more could one ask?
