About This Plant
New Zealand Spinach (Tetragonia tetragonioides) is a leafy green vegetable prized for its long harvesting period and tender, mild-tasting leaves. Unlike traditional spinach, it thrives in warmer conditions and is perfect for repeated harvesting. It’s commonly used in salads, stir-fries, and soups, and is also suitable for freezing, making it a practical addition to any home garden.
Perfect for Hydroponics & Smart Indoor Gardens
New Zealand Spinach adapts well to hydroponic systems and smart gardens, where it receives optimal light, nutrients, and water. In these controlled environments, it can grow up to 3x faster than in soil, allowing you to enjoy a longer, more productive harvest season indoors—any time of year.
