KNOWN FOR its dazzling magenta leaves and towering height, this is not only an ornamental addition to the garden but also has a spinach-like flavour.
Category: Herbs
(Annual)
An edible annual with tiny yellowy green flowers and serrated leaves, its dazzling magenta centre makes this plant not only an ornamental addition to the garden with its towering height, but it also has a culinary value. Harvest the tender leaves for salads and stir fries or cook older leaves similar to spinach. These plants can grow to 6-8ft tall.
Planting
Plant in beds or containers, in well-drained soil or compost, in full sun or partial shade.
Care
Keep well watered until established, and in dry weather. Self-seeds easily.
Height & Spread:
Up to 2 – 3m × 1m.
Harvesting
Harvest the young leaves and tender tips using scissors or your fingertips. It's best to pick leaves in the morning when they are most tender. Harvesting regularly promotes new growth, but be careful not to over-harvest, as this can weaken the plant.
