Malabar Spinach vines & glossy leaves are very ornamental, hence a good addition to the edible landscape. In Zones 9 & 10, these Malabar Spinach vines can survive mild winters and can be grown as perennials.

Best cultivation method is to sow seeds indoor or in coldframe or greenhouse, at least 5 weeks before the last frost. The seeds may take 1 to 3 weeks to germinate in ideal temperature of 65F-75F. Transplant them in mid to late spring when seedlings are at least 2” tall or with half dozen leaves. You can plant individual seedlings in well worked soil 12” apart. Do note the seedlings could get stunned & don’t grow well if outdoor overnight temperature is below 40F, so don’t transplant too early!

Malabar spinach vines loves the heat & the humidity, so full sun is preferred and adequate moisture is a must. Trellis support is highly recommended for maximum aerial coverage/sun exposure. Alternatively, arbor, chain link fence or cattle panels are also suitable to support climbing vines. Also, Malabar spinach vines, leaves and flowers are considered ornamental, a must have on an edible landscape. You can harvest just the leaves, or cut off the tender stems (also good eating) to promote new shoots growth.
