Strawberry Spinach

HeatherT · March 29, 2015

I have a package that came from SSE and the description reads like this. "Grown in Europe for centuries. Very showy compact 18" plants are grown for their nutritious triangular toothed leaves and tender shoots, used in salads or steamed. Shiny red mulberry-like fruits are edible and can be added to salads or used for dying. Becoming scarce. Self-seeding annual, 90 days."

We live in a townhome with a HOA, technically there are no "food" plants allowed in the front of the units but I tend to push the boundaries when I can, these are just pretty ornamentals like the two Honeyberry bushes.
