Basella Malabar (Red Stem)

This Malabar spinach variety has been grown by me for 10+ years. It's a vigorous climbing fine that makes many edible leaves, good for soups, stews, and stir fries. I planted it once and never had to plant it again, as it reseeds readily. It does not bolt, and seems to love heat and humidity. In my area, it blooms until frost. At the end of the season, it develops purple "berries" that are the seeds, which can be dried and shared. Plant this one once and you are set for life!
