BM74 Strawberry Spinach ( Chenopodium foliosum )
Highly novel, easy to grow plant, ideal for the border or patio containers or in the garden. Base-branching with spiky foliage and stems which bear many edible, bright-red strawberry-like fruits through to early autumn.
A green that is grown and eaten like spinach before the small strawberry-like fruits appear on the
stems of the plant. This plant has been around for over 400 years and was a favorite of English Monks long ago. Smaller, thinner leaves than ordinary spinach, with abundance of thumbnail size fruits which are tasty.
Useful cut material, grows 15 inches tall, ready in 12 weeks from seed. Annual.
