Not a true spinach but an excellent substitute, particularly for cooking where its texture softens beautifully when steamed, sautéed, or blanched. A native New Zealand plant with genuine practical value in the summer kitchen garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrowing as a sprawling, low-growing plant, New Zealand Spinach can be harvested continuously once established, making it one of the most productive and reliable summer greens available. Pinching the tips regularly encourages branching and a fuller, more generous plant. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil and performs consistently across a wide range of New Zealand growing conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring, Summer\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSow:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct, 1–2 cm deep; soak seeds overnight before sowing\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 cm apart\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low sprawling habit to 30–40 cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGermination:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7–14 days\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60–70 days; pick shoot tips regularly to encourage branching\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mild, slightly salty, and tender when cooked\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e30 seeds\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rasmussen Gardens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47874816835735,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/2828\/4311\/files\/New_Zealand_Spinach_30_seeds.png?v=1780875290","url":"https:\/\/junglestory.co.nz\/hi\/products\/new-zealand-spinach-30-seeds","provider":"Jungle Story ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
