Silverbeet Perpetual Spinach
Botanical name: Beta vulgaris
Seed heritage: England 1800s
Perpetual spinach is a vigorous, long-standing silverbeet variety that is renowned for its ease of growth and flavour that closely resembles true spinach. This plant has a compact growth habit characterized by an abundance of large, pointed, bright-green leaves atop a rosette of juicy pale-green stems, offering a mild, sweet, and earthy taste that can be eaten both raw and cooked. Its hardiness allows it to thrive in both cool and warm conditions and typically does not bolt until the following spring after planting, allowing for a steady and continual harvest of fresh greens throughout the year.
