Red Malabar Spinach
25 Seeds
(Basella rubra) Red malabar spinach is a heat-tolerant vining plant that produces continuous harvests of tender green leaves. Although not a true spinach, the leaves are used similarly, with a flavor that is more neutral and a unique, melting texture. Frequently used for fresh eating, juicing, and sautéing. Heat-tolerant plants bear ceaselessly throughout summer, providing continuous harvests when most other greens have petered out. 50-70 days to harvest. 50 seeds per packet.
CULTURE: Sow seeds outdoors after danger of frost has passed. Sow seeds 1/4" deep, 3" apart along a trellis or other support structure. Thin to one plant every 6" after germination has occurred. Harvest frequently to promote yield.
