LittleSunSeeds Spinach

NZ spinach likes well-drained, reasonably good soil, though will tolerate a variety – often grows well in salty soil near beaches and estuaries. Likes sun or partial shade.

Companion plants include peas, beans, strawberry and coriander. Sow in spring and summer – soak seeds in warm water for a few hours, then plant 4 seeds per mound, about 50cm apart. They’re not great at germinating, so by sowing multiple seeds in a spot, you will hopefully get 1-2 plants in that area.

Requires very little attention. Enjoy the succulent leaves in salads or cooked like other spinach varieties.
