It is an heirloom open pollinated leafy green that is a great summer alternative. New Zealand Spinach loves warm weather (up to 95F!), humidity, & is drought tolerant. It grows well anywhere, from poor soil to containers, offering a continuous harvest all summer long. It is perennial in zones 8 & up, or can be grown as an annual elsewhere, with leaves ready to harvest in just 60 days onward. New Zealand Spinach leaves have a mild salty taste, & are rich in Vitamins A & C. They can be used in all of the same ways that regular spinach can. The leaves are crisp when they're raw, but become tender when they are cooked, Young tender leaves are used in salads, & this spinach can also be cooked for a stand-alone side dish, added to soups & stews, stir fries, etc. We also have "regular" Bloomsdale Spinach seeds, & warm weather Malabar Spinach in Red, Green Supreme, & Big Round Leaf! * FREE SHIPPING ON ALL ADDITIONAL SEEDS!
