NZ Spinach
$6.50
NZ spinach likes well-drained, reasonably good soil, though will tolerate a variety - often grows well in salty soil near beaches and estuaries. Likes sun or partial shade.
Companion plants include peas, beans, strawberry and coriander.
Sow in spring and summer - soak seeds in warm water for a few hours, then plant 4 seeds per mound, about 50cm apart. They’re not great at germinating, so by sowing multiple seeds in a spot, you will hopefully get 1-2 plants in that area.
Requires very little attention. Enjoy the succulent leaves in salads or cooked like other spinach varieties.
