Brazilian Spinach

Plant cuttings in moist, fertile, well-drained soil in partial shade; this low-growing groundcover from Brazil spreads to fill in bare areas beneath shrubs and fruit trees, providing a living mulch while yielding edible leaves. The slightly succulent, wavy-edged leaves are harvested young and used raw in salads or briefly cooked like spinach, with a mild, pleasant flavor free of bitterness. It is extremely productive in the subtropics, rooting wherever stems contact moist soil. Take cuttings in early fall to overwinter indoors in a sunny window, or treat as an annual in zone 8 with fresh transplants each spring. Спосіб посадки: Розмноження живцюванням Відстань між рослинами: 12–18 дюймів Висота: 6–12 дюймів
