Caucasian spinach (Hablitzia tamnoides) in a P9 pot

Caucasian spinach is a strong, perennial climber that produces delicious, tender leaves early in spring. The young shoots and leaves have a mild spinach flavor and can be used raw in salads or cooked like spinach. A valuable and productive vegetable that returns year after year.

This climber thrives on a trellis, pergola, or fence and can reach a height of about 2 to 3 meters. In summer, delicate, airy flowers appear, creating a graceful appearance.

Plant in a sunny to partially shaded spot in humus-rich, well-drained soil. Water well during dry spells and harvest young shoots regularly to encourage growth. Hardy, easy to care for, and ideal for edible gardens or food forests.

Organic/non-organic
This planting material comes from a small-scale grower without an official organic certificate. But don't worry, we're certain it's pesticide-free.

Stronger plants, honest photos
Our plants are grown outdoors and are completely winter-hardy. They aren't young greenhouse plants, but stronger, perennials that have been growing for a while and therefore have a well-developed root system. By growing in wind, rain, and temperature fluctuations, they are better hardened, more robust, and adapt more quickly after planting than herbs grown in a warm greenhouse this year. Conservatory plants often look greener and fuller, but are younger and less resilient.

Because our plants follow the natural rhythm of the seasons, they can look bare or less attractive in winter. Many perennials die back (partially) above ground and store their energy underground. Sometimes the pot may seem empty, but don't worry: the strong roots are alive and will ensure the plant sprouts vigorously again in spring.

The photos show what the plants look like in winter, so you get a fair idea of ​​what you'll receive if you order in the spring.
