A distant cousin of spinach, this variety is technically not a true spinach but is used similarly for its texture and flavor. This unique variety has small spear-shaped leaves and grows tall and upright. There's no reason to worry about early bolting here. This variety is heat tolerant and will produce all summer long. A great source of vitamin C.
I've had NZ before. Looking forward to seeing this, this summer. 😋
New Zealand Spinach is easy to grow and slow to bolt. Its sprawling vines sport thick leaves that are wonderful in salad, stir fry, lasagna, and pesto.
In zone 5a, it usually self-seeds and returns the following spring.
Just received in the mail and planted out in my Greenstalk. Excited to see if this truly can handle the heat and humidity this summer.
Fantastic germination rate and looking good so far!
I winter sowed these. They did very well.
My only complaint is that I was not prepared for how well and fast all of the seeds would grow soI had to pot up earlier than expected! I am very happy with all of the seeds I have purchased from here!
I think I got near perfect germination on these. Cauliflower has always been challenging for me to time it out and know when to harvest. I've been learning that crops that have purple or reds in them (looking at my red lettuce varieties and purple sprouting broccoli) seem to bolt less quickly than their green counterparts in heat.
I have been buying seeds from you for the last 3 years. They germinate very well, and have produced the best gardens I have ever had. I just got my order for this year started in my greenhouse. For the first time I opened a packet of All Seasons Cabbage and there were no seeds in it. the rest of the order is doing great. The price of the seeds also good.

This is my first year growing straw flower. The germination rate is fantastic and you get so many seeds. Can't wait till they can moved outdoors and bloom in my purple flower bed.
Everything but the royal paste sprouted. Sometimes that happens. Will place another order for fall planting.
