Brazil Spinach plant, Poor Man’s Spinach, Samba Lettuce, Sissoo Spinach, Alternanthera sissoo

Another great perennial green you plant once and harvest forever!

This is a very tidy-looking perennial spinach that does not sprawl and stays were you plant it. With its crinkled fresh-looking very green leaves it makes a great bed border with taller plants in the back.

Sishoo is quite shade-tolerant, but prefers tropical and subtopical climates and would probably be happy as far South as Sydney.

Brazil spinach tastes nice in salads or stir-fries and has no slimy texture.

Brazil spinach does not seem to set viable seeds and therefore can’t get weedy.
