Unlike traditional spinach, this heat-loving vine thrives in warm conditions, making it perfect for summer gardens. With proper care, including scarification and moisture management, these seeds can yield a bountiful harvest of delicious, nutritious leaves in just 1-3 weeks. ## Description Beautiful ornamental red stems with delicious green leaves. All RDR Seeds brand products come in RDR Seeds branded packaging that includes plant information and planting instructions. ## Features - While regular spinach loves cooler weather, malabar spinach vines love the heat and have a unique flavor similar to swiss chard. - This vine will require support to grow on, moist soil, and plenty of sun. - Seeds sometimes have a lower germination rate unless scarified (scraped with a file or sandpaper), or soaked for several hours prior to planting. Because warm temperatures and moist soil are important for germination, seeds do best if started inside. Plant seeds .5" deep and cover pot with plastic wrap to keep seeds lightly moist without needing to water several times per day. Seeds should germinate in 1-3 weeks if kept above 70 degrees. ## Images ![100 Red Stem Malabar Climbing Spinach Seeds - Basella rubra - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41hJGCdAutL.jpg) ![100 Red Stem Malabar Climbing Spinach Seeds - Basella rubra - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/514OoQEkKzL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Good *by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2019* Love the taste and texture of this climbing spinach. But next summer I will start inside. Of about 30 seeds I planted in the garden only 3 grew. I believe the germination issue is more my fault than the seed quality. ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars Item was different than listed *by W***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2020* Planted the seeds and they were not spinach.We purchased regular spinach seeds and planted them in large boxes filled with soil side by side. The regular spinach took off and we have already harvested it. The seeds that were sent have never gotten taller than 2 inches. The stock is a deep red and the leaves are thick and shiny, more like a succulent. ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars Where the seeds? *by R***S on Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2020* I didn't get a single seed. The little bag only had a little bit of dirt in it and not 1 seed.Update: Finally found some seeds somewhere else... THERE WASN'T A SINGLE SEED IN PACKET. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/87595517-100-red-stem-malabar-climbing-spinach-seeds-basella-rubra](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/87595517-100-red-stem-malabar-climbing-spinach-seeds-basella-rubra) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
