Big Round Leaf Malabar Spinach

Big Round Leaf Malabar Spinach is a heat-loving heirloom green prized for its exceptionally large, dark green leaves. Thick, slightly wrinkled, and remarkably spinach-like in appearance, the tender leaves are excellent for salads, stir-fries, soups, and other cooked dishes. Unlike many Malabar spinach varieties that quickly begin climbing, Big Round Leaf spends much of the growing season in a compact, bushy state, producing generous harvests of large leaves before eventually developing long, vigorous vines. This extended bush phase makes harvesting easy and provides a steady supply of tender greens throughout the summer months. An outstanding choice for gardeners in hot climates, Malabar spinach thrives during the heat of summer when traditional spinach has long since bolted. Easy to grow, productive, and attractive, it is one of the best leafy greens for extending the harvest through the hottest part of the growing season. Each packet contains a minimum of 25 seeds.
