Despite its name, it isn’t a true spinach, but it thrives in warm and tropical weather where lettuce and spinach struggle, making it an excellent choice for summer gardens, permaculture systems, and food forests. Lagos spinach produces tender, nutritious leaves that are commonly cooked and used in soups, stews, sautés, and stir-fries, similar to spinach or amaranth. The plant is also highly ornamental, featuring deep burgundy-tinted foliage and vibrant hot pink, feathery celosia flowers that can be used as cut flowers. Easy to grow and productive, Lagos spinach is a beautiful and functional addition to any edible garden, especially for hot-climate gardeners.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePLANTING \u0026amp; GROWING\u003cbr\u003eGermination: 10-14 days\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeed Sowing Depth: 1\/8” deep\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen to sow seeds: Direct sow seeds after all danger of frost has passed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen to harvest leaves: Harvest leaves as needed.
