Spinach
New Zealand

A heat-tolerant spinach alternative providing continuous harvests of flavorful leaves throughout the summer when true spinach bolts.

About New Zealand

This heat-loving plant offers a continuous harvest of small, fleshy, dark green leaves with an amiable bittersweet flavor, thriving in warm conditions where true spinach struggles. Maturing in about 60 days, it produces abundantly, and regular cutting encourages bushy growth, behaving as a perennial in milder climates. The versatile leaves are excellent cooked or fresh, complementing a range of dishes from seafood to pasta, and are remarkably resistant to most common garden pests.
