Basella rubra 85 days. A striking shift from ordinary greens, this vigorous tropical vine grows to 6 feet with spinach-like, dark green foliage on burgundy stems. Fleshy, glossy leaves have a pleasant, nutty Swiss Chard flavor. May be grown on the ground or trellised for cleaner, easier harvesting. Approximately 30 seeds per 2 grams.

These really didn't start to take off till it got warm so if you like the flavor, this is a great spinach option for when the others start to go to seed with the warmth. Unfortunately, we didn't care much for its taste, but live and learn :-)

Red Malabar Spinach is great
Planted the red Malabar spinach about a month ago, it came up great! What a great taste!
