Seed Details:
Adds texture, colour and flavour to salads. Red Mountain Spinach can grow to 5 or 6 feet making it an attractive edible plant whose succulent leaves do not bitter if they bolt.

Sow seed directly when the earth can be worked and temperatures and after the last frost. The leaves are extremely tender when harvested young.
