Looking for a leafy green that actually thrives in the heat of summer? Red Malabar Spinach is the perfect warm-weather substitute for traditional spinach, producing glossy, thick leaves and vibrant red-purple stems that bring beauty and flavor to any garden.

This heat-loving tropical vine grows vigorously during summer and continues well into fall, providing a steady supply of nutritious greens. The tender young leaves and shoots have a mild, Swiss chard–like flavor and are delicious in salads, stir-fries, curries, and soups. When cooked, they add a silky texture that naturally thickens dishes.
