Widely cultivated for use in Asian cooking and basket making. It has a nutty fragrance and is most commonly used in rice dishes or tied in a bundle and cooked with food. Also useful in flower arrangements. A low growing plant to 1m with long narrow blade like leaves and woody aerial roots. In tropical climates it can be grown as a marginal plant in dams and ponds, used as a bedding plant in tropical landscaping. Outside of the tropics, well worth trying as indoor plant in winter with a warm, sunny aspect. Allow the plant to dry out over the winter months, but maintain humidity

Longevity Spinach

$14.75

Fast growing, fleshy-leaved edible green to 1m high, that can be eaten raw in salads, smoothies and stir-fries. The plant is best grown well-watered and in part shade in warm climates, and pruned as the fleshy stems and leaves can get quite heavy. Can be used as a Living Mulch as it has a scrambling, vine-like habit. May have the potential to be a weed risk.

Dwarf Mandarin - Imperial

$44.00

A proven early variety that is still very popular today. Excellent colour and flavour; the skin is smooth, glossy, thin and easy to peel. Older trees may develop a biennial bearing habit. Dwarf trees grow to about 2m tall.

Brazilian Sissoo Spinach

I have attempted to grow various types of spinach with limited success. Brazilian spinach, being a hardy plant, is expected to withstand Melbourne's winter. Additionally, it serves as an alternative to the plant known as Ponnanganni Keerai in Tamil, which is commonly used in India. I have started growing Brazilian spinach inside a greenhouse and plan to gradually spread it around the backyard.

Brazilian Sissoo Spinach

I planted this in a bad position where an asparagus soon completely covered it. It survived. After a year I moved it to a spot that is still shady but does get more light and it started thriving. Tastes great and super easy to grow cuttings.

BAMBAROO, QLD, Australia

A good year round supplier of leafy greens.  Good spinach substitute for tropical climate.  Should be cooked if consumed in large amounts due to oxalic acid content. Can be eaten raw in salads, etc but consumption should be restricted of the raw leaf...

Great replacement for spinach when it's to hot and lettuce and English spinach go to bolt. Growing great in a pot only need to water once a week. This has done great in Melbourne. I love it.
