Malabar Spinach thrives in hot weather, just when many leafy greens wilt away. Tender, heart-shaped leaves are similar to spinach and can be used in the same way. Fast-growing vine reaches up to 10'. This red stemmed variety is beautiful enough to be grown ornamentally.

Spinach is a highly nutritious and easy to grow green leafy vegetable that will add flavor to your daily cooking. Try the tasty leaves fresh in salad or on a sandwich, or sauté them to add to pasta dishes and so much more.

Scarify seeds to open the tough seed coat. Soaking also speeds germination. Start indoors and transplant well after all danger of frost is past. Use a sturdy trellis to enhance the harvest. Keep moist to prevent flowering which cause leaves to become bitter.
