Spinach New Zealand Tetragonia tetragonioides

Spinach New Zealand Tetragonia tetragonioides

£0.39

New Zealand spinach (Tetragonia tetragonioides) is a leafy green vegetable, often used as a spinach substitute, that is not actually related to true spinach. It is a warm-season perennial, typically grown as an annual in cooler climates, and known for its slightly succulent, arrow-shaped leaves. It’s relatively easy to grow and can be harvested throughout the summer, making it a good choice for cut-and-come-again harvesting. 

Key characteristics:
    • Appearance: Fleshy, arrow-shaped, bright green leaves. 
    • Taste: Milder than true spinach, with a slightly salty flavor. 
  • Growth: Spreading, bushy plant that can act as a groundcover. 
  • Hardiness: Frost-sensitive, but tolerates heat well and resists bolting. 
  • Culinary uses: Can be eaten raw or cooked, and is often used in salads, soups, and stir-fries. 
Growing New Zealand Spinach:
  • Sowing: Sow seeds directly into the ground or start them in pots indoors. 
  • Germination: Seeds can be slow to germinate, and some gardeners recommend soaking them before planting to aid germination. 
  • Sunlight: While it prefers full sun, it can tolerate some shade, especially in hotter climates. 
  • Soil: Requires well-drained soil with plenty of added compost. 
  • Spacing: Plants should be spaced 15-20cm apart to allow for their spreading habit. 
  • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist. 
  • Harvesting: Leaves can be harvested as needed, and the plant will continue to produce new leaves throughout the growing season. 
Benefits:
  • Nutrient-rich: A good source of vitamins A and C, as well as iron and other nutrients. 
  • Prolific producer: Yields a large amount of edible leaves. 
  • Weed suppression: Its spreading habit can help suppress weeds. 
  • Versatile: Can be used in a wide variety of dishes.

I have just bought all my new seeds for next year’s vegetables after having such great results this year. Budget seeds are so helpful, I’m a newbie in the veg growing world and they have been helpful in choosing the best seeds to start with etc. also much cheaper than elsewhere so if I do mess up in the future it isn’t costing me so much. I thoroughly recommend Budget Seeds for all your veg and flower seeds.
