Okinawa Spinach

Root stem cuttings in water or moist potting mix; they strike quickly at warm temperatures and are ready to transplant in 10–14 days. Plant in fertile, well-drained soil in partial shade — full afternoon shade is ideal in hot climates, where the ornamental two-toned leaves (dark green above, vivid purple beneath) are most striking. Harvest young leaves and stem tips continuously; the raw leaves have a mild, slightly mucilaginous texture and are eaten as salad greens or briefly stir-fried. In zones 9–11 the plant grows as a sprawling perennial; in cooler climates bring cuttings indoors over winter. Спосіб посадки: Розмноження живцюванням Відстань між рослинами: 18–24 дюймів Висота: 12–24 дюймів
