We are huge fans of this wonderful ‘edimental’ heirloom crop. It looks stunning in the garden, growing up to 6ft tall with antioxidant packed, intensely purple foliage, but we think this will be a big part of our future food as our summers get hotter. A striking alternative to spinach (you eat it just the same way though it is not a true spinach), it doesn’t bolt and requires very little watering.

Although this plant can be propagated indoors ahead of planting out, it performs much better when surface sown directly in position. Simply sprinkle sparingly across the area it is to be grown in mid spring, when conditions are right it will germinate and grow rapidly. Harvesting can begin when plants are 30cm tall.
This crop will self seed everywhere, so remove seed heads, store and use to grow an abundance of nutrient dense microgreens in winter.
