Hablitzia
Plant division or seedling plant
Hablitzia tamnoides
Seeds for this plant came from the Experimental Farm Network. Their description is great, so we're quoting below. Hablitzia is a relatively new selection for us. The leaves taste remarkably like spinach, but without that oxalic acid taste. Rich, earthy and mild. We actually prefer it to spinach and plan to grow a lot of it.
Hablitzia, or Caucasian Mountain Spinach, is a perennial, vining vegetable, hardy to zone 3, grown for its tasty leaves and shoots. It prefers full sun, but can also do well in partial shade, as its native habitat is in the understory of temperate forests. It can grow six to nine feet tall and will appreciate a trellis or bush/tree to climb up. Still relatively new to gardeners in this country, Hablitzia is quickly making a name for itself among agroecologists and permaculturists who desire low-input, high-yield perennial crops.
