SPINACH 'Sissoo' --Alternanthera sissoo--

Closely related to our Sambu spinach, but with longer, flatter leaves, this is a great green for cooking and adds a nice crunch to salads, holds well through summer, unlike most spinach or lettuces, and has a crunchier texture than succulent greens. Can stay perennial if protected from cold. Absolutely loves shade and is a great year-round edible ground cover! High in oxalates, so it should be cooked if eaten in large quantities.
