Chop-suey-green (garland chrysanthemum) is a fast-growing cool-season annual that does best in full sun to partial shade with consistently moist, fertile soil. Harvest young leaves regularly for use in Asian cuisine, which also encourages bushier growth and delays bolting. Sow seeds directly in the garden in spring or autumn for the best results.
