Grow lush, productive greens all summer long with Red Stem Malabar Spinach, a unique heat-tolerant leafy vegetable that thrives when traditional spinach struggles. This striking variety features thick, glossy green leaves and deep red to purple stems, making it both edible and ornamental.
Malabar spinach has a mild, slightly lemony flavor and a succulent texture. Leaves are best used cooked, where they develop a pleasant thickness ideal for stir-fries, sautéing, soups, curries, stews, and Asian dishes. Plants grow as vigorous vines and perform best with trellising, making them perfect for small gardens, containers, patios, and vertical growing.
