It is reaped 8-10 times a year, is highly resistant to cold and highly adaptable to soil and its leaves contain a good deal of nutrients. In particular, it has the highest carotene content among green vegetables.

The new Gynura bicolor DC is also a nutritious vegetable rich in iron and manganese. It is highly resistant to heat, humidity, drought and other unfavourable conditions. With a per-hectare yield of 90-100 tons, it can be grown effectively in greenhouses.
