Description
Red Malabar Spinach is a vigorous, fast-growing vine with striking red stems and glossy, heart-shaped green leaves. Unlike true spinach, it thrives in warm tropical climates and serves as both an ornamental and edible plant. The succulent leaves and stems have a mild, slightly tangy flavor and are commonly used in salads, stir-fries, soups, and curries. Its climbing habit makes it an excellent choice for trellises, arbors, or fences, adding both beauty and utility to the garden.
