Description
NZ Spinach Plant
NZ Spinach is a hardy, fast-growing leafy green native to New Zealand and the Pacific region. Unlike traditional spinach, it thrives in warmer climates and is resistant to bolting, making it perfect for summer gardens. The succulent, triangular leaves have a slightly nutty flavor, ideal for salads, stir-fries, and steaming. Harvest the tender young leaves regularly for a “cut-and-come-again” crop that keeps producing throughout the season.
Growing Conditions:
- Sun Requirements: Prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade.
- Watering: Requires regular watering, but ensure good drainage to prevent soggy roots.
- Soil Requirements: Grows best in nutrient-rich, well-draining soil. Enrich with compost for optimal results.
Care Tips:
- Pinch back stems to encourage bushy growth.
- Ideal for planting in garden beds or in PB18 bags for 1 season of harvesting.
- Great companion plant for vegetables like beans and carrots.
