    Okinawa spinach grows in dense clusters on stalks that can grow up to 70 centimeters tall and form a bushy habit. Pruning the plant keeps it low to the ground and encourages growth. The elongated leaves have slightly toothed edges and are bright, shiny green on top and deep purple on the undersides. Young leaves and shoots may have a purple tinge. Okinawa spinach has a crisp, succulent texture and offers a nutty flavor with hints of pine. Okinawa spinach is a perennial green, botanically classified as Gynura crepioides or G. procumbens. It is a member of the Asteraceae or sunflower family and is unrelated to common spinach. In China it is cultivated as a vegetable and is commonly referred to as Hong tsoi or Okinawa lettuce. It is both nutritious and visually appealing, making it a popular back yard plant for container gardening or flower beds. Okinawa spinach thrives in warm, wet conditions, but it doesn’t like soggy soil, so plant it in a well-drained spot. Space plants about 1-2’ apart if growing in the garden. They will eventually form a groundcover if you let them but can also be trimmed or pruned to stay as separate plants.

    Testimonials

    "Came in perfect condition--thank you!"

    Natalie

    "Amazing Plants! I was so happy to see these way larger than the plants pictured because I know how slow most cycads grow."

    Matthew

    "This is the first time I've ever ordered plants online, so I had no idea what to expect. When I saw the description of 'comes in a 4" growers' pot' I figured I'd be getting some fairly small plants--nope! The bamboo palms were fully 2' tall from root to top leaf, and perfectly healthy. All 5 plants were VERY well secured in their box, to the point that the bottom layer was even spray-foamed to the cardboard! I couldn't ask for a better experience and I'm so excited to see these plants grow. Five stars!"

    Nathaniel

    "Thrilled with my purchase! This seller went above any beyond! The packaging was very careful, the plants are so much bigger than I expected, and I was given more than what was depicted in the item description. 10/10 all round!"

    Trisha

    "This is SO BEAUTIFUL! Packaging was perfect and efficient, plant was in excellent condition. I'm in love with this plant and I will definitely order more."
