Stay stocked with fresh greens through the hottest months using New Zealand Spinach Seeds (Tetragonia) — a heat-tolerant, warm-season green that flourishes when traditional spinach struggles. Also known as warrigal greens, this resilient plant produces tender, mild leaves that are perfect for salads, sautés, and smoothies. Ideal for southern, coastal, and hot inland climates, it’s a dependable summer crop for gardeners who want continuous, homegrown greens.
Heat-Loving and Productive:
Unlike cool-season spinach, New Zealand spinach thrives in warm temperatures and even tolerates drought and coastal conditions. The branching plants grow vigorously and respond well to frequent picking—each harvest encourages new growth for steady yields all season long.
Cut-and-Come-Again Growth Habit:
- Harvest young tips and tender leaves regularly for best flavor.
- Frequent light picking stimulates new shoots and extended production.
- Ideal for summer meals—use fresh or lightly cooked.
Versatile Growing Options:
Grow New Zealand spinach in garden beds, raised planters, or large containers (3 gallons or larger). It performs beautifully in full sun and benefits from regular watering and well-drained soil. Perfect for gardeners seeking a warm-weather spinach alternative that’s reliable, hardy, and simple to maintain.
How to Grow:
- When to Plant: After the last frost once soil has warmed.
- Light: Full sun.
- Soil: Well-drained garden soil or quality potting mix.
- Spacing: Allow room for airflow and bushy growth.
- Care: Pinch growing tips to encourage branching.
- Harvest: Begin picking outer leaves and tender tips once plants are established; plants regrow quickly for repeat harvests.
In hot climates, sow successive plantings from late spring through late summer for a continuous supply of greens until frost.
Why Gardeners Love New Zealand Spinach:
- Thrives in summer heat when true spinach fails
- Tolerates drought, humidity, and coastal conditions
- Provides continuous cut-and-come-again harvests
- Mild flavor and versatile kitchen use
- Easy to grow in-ground or in containers
