New Zealand Spinach

$3.50$30.00

Arrival anticipated spring 2023

First introduced to English gardeners in 1772 by Sir Joseph Banks. Reportedly discovered during the South Seas Expedition of Captain Cook. Native to New Zealand and Australia. Can be grown as a perennial in warmer climates, but typically grown as an annual. Not a true spinach, but the leaves taste very similar, and some think even better than spinach. Good for fresh eating or cooking. Does not bolt or turn bitter. High in vitamin C. Edible leaves starting at 50-60 days and continuing until frost.
