Growing conditions: Leaf mustard is a cool-weather plant and can tend to bolt and turn bitter in hot, dry conditions so keep it well watered over the summer months. It does well in full sun or partial shade and can tolerate most soil types but prefers relatively fertile, moist, well-draining soil.
Crop rotation: Mustard leaf is a brassica and should be grouped in planting rotation plans with other members of the brassicaceae family such as cabbage, kale, broccoli, kohlrabi, rocket, turnip and radish.
