In cooler climates, start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Lightly scarify the hard seed coat or soak seeds overnight, then sow 0.25 inch deep in moist, warm seed-starting mix held at 70-85 F. Thin or pot up to one seedling per cell so vines have room to root deeply before transplanting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTransplant outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and nights remain above 60 F. Space plants 12 inches apart in rows 24-36 inches apart. Provide a strong trellis, fence, or arbor for vines to climb, as plants can reach 72-120 inches in a season. Use a rich, well-drained soil with plenty of organic matter, water consistently, and mulch to conserve moisture and keep the root zone cool. In very hot climates, a bit of afternoon shade can increase leaf size and tenderness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting of Green Vines Supreme Malabar Spinach\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBegin harvest once vines are growing strongly and leaves are full-sized. Snip individual leaves or cut 6-8 inch tips that include tender stems and foliage. Regular picking encourages branching and continued leafy growth through the warm season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the best texture and flavor, harvest in the cool of the morning and use fresh whenever possible. Young leaves are excellent raw in salads, while larger leaves and stem tips shine in stir-fries, soups, and curries, where their gentle thickening quality is an asset. Remove or pinch off flower spikes to prolong leafy production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Green Vines Supreme Malabar Spinach Garden Seeds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreen Vines Supreme is a selected strain of Malabar spinach, a tropical leafy green grown as a warm-season alternative to true spinach. Thick, glossy leaves with a mild, spinach-like flavor withstand heat and humidity that would cause regular spinach to bolt. Vines climb readily and can even provide light shade for more delicate crops beneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOften called Indian spinach, Ceylon spinach, or alugbati, this versatile green is popular in Asian and tropical cuisines. In the kitchen, it works raw, lightly sautéed, or simmered into soups and stews where its natural viscosity adds body. For gardeners in hot-summer regions, it is a standout leafy crop that continues to produce when cool-weather greens have faded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch4\u003eGreen Vines Supreme Malabar Spinach Seeds Per Package:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 g Packet - Approximately 87 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNon-GMO Green Vines Supreme Malabar Spinach seeds are available for \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.trueleafmarket.com\/pages\/shipping-information\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFast Free Shipping\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e on qualifying orders.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kitazawa Seed Company","offers":[{"title":"3g Packet","offer_id":50290369200365,"sku":"59509","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/6048\/0493\/files\/TLCN-60287-Spinach_Malabar_-_Green_Vines_Supreme_e7c1af49-b161-4cf3-bbe2-4e40d3284d92.webp?v=1784159094","url":"https:\/\/tlmwholesale.com\/products\/spinach-seeds-green-vines-supreme-malabar-kz","provider":"True Leaf Wholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
