Sent bare-rooted
Approx size 15cm

• Related to the Okinawan Spinach, this plant is one of our favourites for easy, low maintenance food production. Providing masses of amazing tender greens all year round.
• We plant them everywhere – the leaves are perfect raw in salads and for quick stir frying. Best eaten raw for taste and nutrition.
• Crisp, juicy tender leaves with a more neutral flavour than Okinawan – even the very large leaves are tender.
• They are very good for those in warmer climates as they keep producing through the heat of summer.
• Ornamental: Not only are they an excellent food crop, but they also look beautiful with bright/lime green leaves and purple splotches on the stems.
• Highly nutritious and medicinal raw food plant.
• Super low maintenance.
• All of our plants are grown organically in Queensland. Our family eats from the same garden these plants are grown, totally without the use of nasty chemicals.

Planting:

Best grown in part shade to full sun, likes moisture but is tough once established.

Cuttings can be placed in water until roots form, or just plant into moist soil – keep moist but not saturated. Very easy to grow.
