Basella Alba
25 SEEDS
Also known as Ceylon Spinach, this Malabar Green variety is a vigorous climbing vine that thrives in warm conditions when true spinach can often struggle. Growing as a perennial in warmer climates or an annual in cooler, plant in full sun or part shade in moist well fertilised soil.
The large thick leaves have a slight lemon and pepper flavour and can be used fresh or cooked as you would true spinach.
Germination can take up to 3 weeks however to speed things along, lightly scratch with a knife or sandpaper and soak seeds for 24 hours before planting. For best results grow on trellis or similar.
