Longevity spinach is an edible green with lots of uses in the garden. It is a tropical green that is perennial in warmer climates. It can grow in full sun or shade. It thrives in hot climates and wet soils.
- It is said to lower cholesterol.
- Leaves can be eaten raw in salads or cooked like in stir frys.
- Flavor is mild. It is not mucilaginous like for example, malabar spinach.
- It is great as an edible ground cover. I use it as a live mulch under my fruity trees. The plant crowds out weeds.
- The plant is a low growing vine that doesn't attach to other plants or the ground. Therefore, it is easy to pull out or remove if needed.
- They grow quickly during the summer time which creates biomass for composting.
- It is perennial in warmer climates such as zones 9+. It can get damaged/killed by temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. In colder climates, take cuttings before winter as they root easily and replant after the last frost has passed.
