Cultivating Caucasian Spinach is a delightful journey with our plug plants. Here’s how:

  1. Optimal Sunlight: Plant them in a sunny to partially shaded area with well-drained soil to ensure they flourish.
  2. Adequate Spacing: Provide enough space between plants, typically about 12-18 inches apart, to allow for healthy growth and optimal air circulation.
  3. Regular Care: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during hot and dry periods. Additionally, these greens are known for their cold tolerance, making them perfect for extended growing seasons.

Culinary Creativity:

Caucasian Spinach, with its rich, slightly earthy taste, is perfect for a range of dishes. Here are a couple of culinary ideas:

  1. Caucasian Spinach Pesto: Make a unique pesto by blending Caucasian Spinach leaves with garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. Use it as a pasta sauce, sandwich spread, or a flavourful topping for grilled meats and vegetables.
  2. Sautéed Caucasian Spinach: Heat olive oil in a pan, add minced garlic, and sauté Caucasian Spinach until it’s tender and slightly wilted. Season with a pinch of red pepper flakes, salt, and a squeeze of lemon juice for a quick and delicious side dish.
  3. Caucasian Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken: Prepare a flavourful and nutritious main dish by stuffing chicken breasts with a mixture of sautéed Caucasian Spinach and crumbled feta cheese. Bake until the chicken is cooked through and the flavours meld into a delightful combination.

Planning your site

Caucasian Spinach like a sheltered, shady spot in the garden where they won’t be blown about too much. It will need something to climb up, it will happily scramble up without any need to maintain or tie up. This is where climbers or tall plants are the most efficient. With the Caucasian spinach you get excellent production food per square foot of earth.

Growing tips

Make sure you keep your plants well and regularly watered and don’t let them dry out. Harvest to the early shoots to keep the plant small as it will grow pretty big!

What to watch out for

Aphids will like the fresh green tips, and maybe susceptible to the occasional leaf miner, but generally problem free!

What to do when your plants arrive

  1. Unpack them. Your seedlings will arrive carefully packed in bio-degradable straw, cardboard and paper. They may look a little bit bedraggled from their journey. Don’t panic – this is totally normal and they should soon perk up. Please try and unpack your plants as soon as they arrive, as every extra hour they spend in the box will add to the stress of travelling to their new home.
  2. Give them a drink. Having spent a day or two in the post, your new plants will be thirsty! Stand them up in some fresh water for a few minutes to make sure their roots have been thoroughly soaked before planting.
  3. Plant them out into their forever home! Your plants can’t wait to get their roots into the soil. Plant them out according to the instructions that will have come in the box with them. Make sure you water them in well, and give them plenty to drink until their roots have had a chance to get settled.
