About our NZ spinach

NZ spinach is a tasty summer vegetable you can harvest from for a long time. It is very similar to spinach: the leaves have the same flavour and you can use them in the same way.
  • Variety: New Zealand spinach
  • Family: leafy greens
  • Number per square: 2
  • Height: approx. 25 cm with long trailing shoots
  • Sowing time: April to mid-May
  • Sowing depth: 1 to 1.5 cm
  • Germination time: 8 to 18 days at 10 to 18°C
  • Time to harvest: from 8 weeks
  • Sunlight: grows in sun or shade
  • Packet contents: approx. 35 seeds, enough for 7 squares
Note: these seeds have an expiry date of 2027. From then on, germination may slowly decrease, but you can still sow them successfully.

What makes NZ spinach special?

This tasty vegetable does well in late spring, summer and autumn. NZ spinach is often grown as an alternative to ordinary spinach, which struggles more in this period.

Unlike ordinary spinach, you can harvest from the same plant for a long time.

Sowing and growing NZ spinach

The seeds are very hard, so soak them before sowing. They can also take a while to germinate: up to 18 days. Keep the mix properly moist after sowing.

The plants do not transplant very well, so sow them straight in their final spot. Because this plant makes long trailing shoots, the best place is a square at the side of the garden box or near the trellis. That way, the shoots can grow outside the box or up the trellis. You can fit 2 plants in one square.

It handles heavy pruning well, so remove shoots regularly. That encourages the plant to make fresh young leaves again.

You can find the step-by-step sowing and growing instructions for NZ spinach in the Makkelijke Moestuin app. There is also a detailed description in the Knowledge base.

What do you use NZ spinach for?

The leaves are usually used like spinach: the flavour is almost the same.

You can briefly cook or stir-fry the leaves and the tips of the shoots, or use them in mash dishes.

You can also eat them raw: young leaves in salads, and older leaves in green smoothies.
