Climbing Spinach Malabar Greens Seeds
Bring a touch of the tropics to your garden with Mr Fothergill’s Climbing Spinach Malabar Greens seeds. Also known as Ceylon Spinach, this vigorous vine thrives in summer, producing tender, dark green leaves when regular spinach struggles. With a flavour similar to spinach, these versatile greens can be enjoyed raw in salads or cooked in your favourite dishes. Perfect for gardeners looking to make the most of their summer harvest, Malabar Greens are easy to grow: just plant them in a sunny spot with support for the vines to climb and watch them flourish.

How To Grow
Sow Malabar spinach in seed trays filled with quality seed-raising mix or directly in their final growing position. Sow seeds 10mm (½in) deep in a sunny, sheltered position along a fence or a trellis if possible. Firm them down after planting and keep them moist until they germinate. Germination may take up to three weeks but can be made quicker by scuffing the seed with sandpaper prior to sowing.
