The thick, glossy leaves have a mild, slightly mucilaginous texture similar to spinach and are excellent stir-fried, sautéed, added to soups, or used fresh in salads. The striking red stems make it as ornamental as it is edible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlants climb readily up trellises, fences, and arbors, reaching 6 feet or more in a single season. In late summer, small ornamental blooms appear along the stems. A great choice for edible landscaping, vertical gardens, and anyone who wants a productive green that actually loves the heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Conditions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Annual (perennial in zones 9+)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6+ feet (vining)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late Summer — small ornamental flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stir-fries, soups, sautés, fresh eating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeat tolerant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thrives in hot, humid summers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Receive\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWell-rooted plants in nursery pots, ready to transplant.
