Green Malabar Spinach (Basella alba) is a vigorous vining vegetable prized for its thick, tender leaves and mild, spinach-like flavor. Also known as Ceylon spinach or vine spinach, this heat-loving plant thrives where traditional spinach struggles, producing abundant edible greens throughout the warm season. The succulent leaves and stems are delicious in stir-fries, soups, curries, and salads, making it a productive and attractive addition to the vegetable garden or edible landscape.
These seeds are certified organic and non-GMO, offering a healthy and sustainable choice for home gardeners. Green Malabar Spinach quickly climbs trellises, fences, or arbors, reaching impressive heights and providing a continuous harvest of nutritious greens.

Once established, Malabar spinach is relatively low-maintenance; water regularly during dry spells and mulch to retain moisture. Harvest young leaves and tips frequently to encourage bushy growth.
