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.

When to plant

Spring to Summer.

Soil Type

Fertile, well cultivated.

When to Plant Climbing Spinach Seeds?

Your Malabar Green climbing spinach seeds should be planted in late spring through to early summer, avoiding the last of the frost and the sweltering heat of the summer months. You can start growing your seeds indoors through late winter; once the soil temperatures are up to 20 °C, you can sow your climbing spinach seeds.

When to Harvest Malabar Spinach Seeds?

After you have sown your Malabar Green climbing spinach seeds, they will take about 60-70 days before they are ready to harvest. You will know the plant is ready once the leaves are large enough to eat. The leaves can be harvested when they are needed by simply pinching them off.

Where to Buy Malabar Spinach Seeds?
