Vegetables

Beta vulgaris var Cicla

Peppermint is in a class by itself. Beautiful white petioles with pink stripes from bottom to top create a visual pop that will catch any eye.

Spinacia oleracea

A modern bred Dutch spinach with high resistance to the disease Pernospera. Fast maturing and easy to grow. Excellent hybrid vigour. Best for spring, autumn and winter. This is a treated seed.

Tetragonia expansa

There is a loyal group of gardeners that seek out and enjoy NZ Spinach. It has a strong, quite unique flavour - almost the opposite of Spinach Perpetual which has a lovely sweet flavour. Unsure which one will suit you? - try them both! Soaking seeds in warm water for two to eight hours prior to sowing may help soften the seed coat and improve germination results.

Atriplex hortensis

Sometimes known as Red Mountain Spinach, Orach has purple lance-shaped leaves that made a tasty addition to your salad mixes or can be cooked like spinach. The leaves can also be used for "stuffing" or making attractive food parcels.

It can also make a lovely border plant in the garden, bearing purple flowering spikes in summer which complement the foliage.

Spinacia oleracea
