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.
