Leafy Greens Spinach Malabar Red is a heat-loving, vigorous climbing vine that thrives throughout summer and into fall, making it an excellent choice for warm-season gardening. This non-GMO heirloom variety produces glossy, thick, savoyed leaves with dark green foliage and distinctive deep red or purple stems that add visual interest to any garden space. The mild Swiss chard-like flavor profile makes it versatile for both raw and cooked applications. The tender leaves and young stems work beautifully in fresh salads, providing a delicate taste when used sparingly, or can be incorporated into stir-fries and sautéed dishes for a more substantial preparation. Unlike traditional spinach, Malabar red thrives in hot conditions where conventional spinach would bolt, extending your harvest season significantly. The vigorous vining growth habit allows for vertical cultivation, maximizing garden space efficiency while creating an attractive living screen or trellis feature. Expect harvestable leaves in approximately 90 days from planting, with a reliable germination rate of 70% or better. Each packet contains 100 premium seeds selected for vigor and genetic purity. David's Garden Seeds® packages these heirloom seeds in sustainable, environmentally friendly materials that are fully reusable and recyclable, reflecting our commitment to both seed preservation and planetary stewardship.
