Out of stock
This spinach variety likes to grow in full sun and well-drained soil.
It has weak stems so won’t grow high but trails along the ground.
Keep it well-watered for higher yields. Harvest the young leaves and leaf tips from July onwards then cook as you would spinach.
Plants may not survive temperatures below 0 Celsius but will readily self-seed the following year.

| Position | This spinach variety likes to grow in full sun. |
| Soil | This plant likes well-drained soil. Keep it well-watered for higher yields. |
| Planting | Plant 30-45cm apart and set them in hills similar to squash as this will allow the weak stem to sprawl. Space hills or rows 60-90cm apart. |
| Harvesting period | Cut the young leaves and tender leaf tips as they give the best flavour. This cut-and-come-again technique will encourage growth throughout the summer. |
| Edible part of the plant | Leaves can be cooked as you would the more common perpetual spinach/leaf beet |
