Climbing Spinach Malabar Greens
Also called Ceylon Spinach, this easy to grow vine native to tropical Asia produces an abundance of dark green leaves during Summer months when regular spinach would turn bitter. It tastes similar to spinach and can be eaten raw or cooked.
How To Grow
Sow in seed trays filled with quality seed raising mix or direct in growing position. Prefers a sunny sheltered position along a fence or a trellis. Sow seeds 10mm (½in) deep. Firm down and keep moist. Germination may take up to 3 weeks but can be hastened by scuffing the seed with sandpaper prior to sowing.
