A few months ago I was invited by Hudson Seed Valley to illustrate the story of one of my favourite leafy vines to grow, eat and make dyes with - The Malabar Red Spinach.
Our seed packs have just been released along with a limited edition art print that you can now purchase from their website, head over here to purchase the artwork..
Red Malabar Spinach
A beautiful and tasty heat-tolerant edible ornamental. Malabar Red Spinach - native to tropical regions in Asia, this vigorous climbing vine serves as the perfect spinach substitute when the weather heats up.
Red Malabar’s vining habit, gorgeous red-purple stems, sweet pink flowers, and rich purple-black berries are very attractive; grow this vine for a quick privacy screen or as part of an edible landscaping plan. The berries are edible (although not super flavorful), and they make a wonderful deep-purple dye for food or textiles.
