Red Malabar Spinach

Basella rubra 85 days. A striking shift from ordinary greens, this vigorous tropical vine grows to 6 feet with spinach-like, dark green foliage on burgundy stems. Fleshy, glossy leaves have a pleasant, nutty Swiss Chard flavor. May be grown on the ground or trellised for cleaner, easier harvesting. Approximately 30 seeds per 2 grams.
