Description: Not actually spinach, but a good hot weather substitute. A very unusual productive and delicious Asian vegetable. Thick, dark-green leaves provide abundant tasty greens throughout the summer when spinach will no longer grow: heat tolerant and vigorous. The current variety has an attractive red stem. Vining habit - provide an adequate trellis for growth up to 6’. Delicious mild taste equally good in salads and cooking. Young stems good in salads.

	Very heat tolerant, and ornamental!
First year growing this. About 95% germination rate. Got busy and left seedlings in recycled 6-packs for 4 months. Transplanted to garden in full sun late June and they went crazy. Mid August and they are 8 - 15 feet long with multiple vines on each plant. Bees love the blooms. 110 degrees and they dont even know it. Not a single pest so far. I prefer the leaves raw mixed in salad. Ok to stir-fry small amounts of leaves and about 3 inches of stem tips. Slimy if cooked or juiced, thats why I only gave it 4 stars. I will have to try drying it. Leaves kept shape and texture 2 weeks in fridge! Dark green leaves and dark red stems demand attention, no one passes by my community garden plot without stopping to ask about or look at them!

	Grows to be the Green Malabar Variety
I planted seeds in ground and they sprouted within a week. I was expecting these to be the red vine variety, but it turned out to be the green variety. It was not the same as the one shown in the picture. The pictures should be corrected. Overall the plant is very good in growth and greens, but I wont be planting these again.
