Seed packet size

Tetragonia tetragonoides, known as New Zealand spinach, is a climbing or trailing annual plant with fleshy, succulent leaves that can be eaten raw in salads or cooked. Unlike common spinach, it tolerates high temperatures and direct sunlight, making it ideal for summer cultivation.

It grows easily in well-drained soil and full sun. Its foliage is nutritious, rich in vitamins A and C and minerals like calcium and iron. The plant produces abundant leaves and can spread widely, making it a perfect choice for home gardens or edible ornamental cultivation.

How to sow Tetragonia tetragonoides seeds

Sow seeds directly in trays or in the soil in late spring, when temperatures are warm. Lightly cover the seeds with a light substrate and keep it moist but not waterlogged. Germination usually occurs within 7 to 14 days. Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them leaving enough space for proper development of fleshy, succulent leaves.
