Red Malabar Spinach is not a true spinach, but it's one of the best leafy greens for hot, humid climates. While true spinach struggles in summer heat, Red Malabar Spinach thrives.
Red Malabar is an attractive ornamental vine with deep red stems and has small white - to - pink flowers to attract pollinators. It is a vigorous climbing vine which typically grows 6-10 feet and is best grown on a trellis, fence, arbor, or tomato cage. It can also trail from containers or hanging baskets.
