$1.95 $3.90

Add a stunning, edible ornamental to your garden with our Red Plume Orach seeds. Also known as Mountain Spinach, this beautiful heirloom is prized for its vibrant, deep reddish-purple leaves that create a dramatic statement. Not just for looks, Orach is a delicious and nutritious "summer spinach" that thrives in the heat long after true spinach has bolted. The leaves have a wonderful, mild, and savory flavor perfect for fresh salads when young, or for cooking like spinach when mature.

Thank you for your good seed selection, especially of lesser known plants, and for how well they shipped. I've been trying to find good substitutes for the spring greens, plants that grow in the heat of summer. I'm excited to try growing and using these plants!

I cant specify this specific plant’s results, but so far I’ve had fair germination rates (I am still learning, so I can’t say if the issues are seeds or gardener!)
Things I like- veteran owned! Seed packets open and reseal easily, and prices were very reasonable
Things I’d change- the information on the seed packet was disappointing. I had to go back to the website to find all my info, there wasn’t plant height, sun requirements, or even a photo of the plant. If did have planting info, but I guess I expected more after ordering from MIGardener and Botanical Interests.
