New Zealand Spinach
50 Seeds
New Zealand Spinach is a unique, edible green reportedly discovered by botanist Sir Joseph Banks while on the expedition of the South Pacific led by Captain Cook (1768-1771). Subsequently released to English gardeners and widely adopted as a heat-tolerant alternative to common spinach. Although not a true spinach, the leaves have a similar flavor and like spinach, can be eaten raw or cooked. Plants have a low-growing, sprawling habit and will fill out whatever space you give them. Produces edible leaves roughly 55 days from planting, with harvests continuing until frost. Can be grown as a perennial in frost-free climates. Harvests begin 50-60 days after sowing. Each packet contains a minimum of 50 seeds.
