Malabar spinach plants grow in India and throughout the tropics, primarily in the moist lowlands. While the dark green leaves resemble those of spinach, this is a vine type of plant that thrives in hot temps, even exceeding 90 F. (32 C.) Cool temperatures cause Malabar spinach to creep. It is grown as an annual, but grows like a perennial in regions that are frost free.
Malabar Spinach is a rapid growing Indian spinach. Leaves are broad, dark green and thick. The plants are very tender and attractive. Repeated harvest can start 25 days after planting.

Spinach, an easy to grow crop that fills in very quickly, is hardy to frosts and light freezes. Spinach can bolt if it becomes too dry or if the temperature outside warms. While it does need consistent watering, it doesn't require too many nutrients - making it ideal for a fall planting after you're done harvesting your warm-weather crops. An excellent source of vitamins, spinach can be eaten raw or cooked; and is a great addition to soup, stir fry, or pasta. To preserve spinach, blanch and freeze for later use in dips or sauces.
COMMON PESTS: Aphids, Leaf Miners
SUSCEPTIBLE TO: Bolting, Mosaic Virus, Downy Mildew
