Perfect in Salad & Ornamental interest in the Garden

Enjoyed plucking individuals leaves for salads - contrasts nicely with romaine and other "greens". Beautifully display of leaves, eventually develops attractive seed clusters towards late summer. Excellent flavor, easier to grow in hotter climates & Ornamental quality in the garden.

Pretty and nice for salads

I have enjoyed trying purple orach this year. They haven't had a pest issue like so many of my salad plants. I planted them later in the season and in containers on the deck, so I don't think they are reaching their full potential, but I am excited to give them a spot in the garden next year. I may even try a few in the garden yet this fall as the other garden plants wind down and see how they do

Tastes great and pretty! Mostly kept puple color when lightly cooked! Will definately grow again!

I started these seeds in a garden bed in about a 2x2 ft area at the end. They grew to about 4ft tall and would blow gracefully with the wind. They produce leaves all along the stems (you can plant thickly about 1 inch apart due to being tall and skinny) and did not go to seed until into July. The were planted in late spring. They produce secondary leaves at the leaf joints. The taste is similar to spinach, or maybe more mild. It is a great plant and a beautiful addition to salads. The leaves get a tiny bit powdery underneath. I think that is normal. Just wash and eat! I will definitely grow again!

I haven't started the seeds yet, so can't say much about it. Thought is was a good price, and it was shipped quickly and accurately.
