Red Malabar spinach (Basella alba rubra) is a heat-loving climbing vine that produces tender, nutritious leaves when regular spinach bolts. This packet provides 500 seeds for establishing productive summer greens. Known as Mồng Tơi in Vietnamese cuisine, the leaves add mild, slightly mucilaginous texture to stir-fries and soups.

When summer heat sends true spinach to seed, Malabar spinach is just getting started. This 500-seed packet of red-stemmed Basella alba gives you climbing vines that produce tender greens all season. The striking magenta stems look ornamental on trellises while delivering steady harvests for stir-fries, soups, and fresh eating. Essential for hot-climate gardeners.
