45 Day. Orach. An interesting alternative to spinach. A cool season garden green that tolerates a wide range of temperatures and can be harvested later into summer without leaves becoming bitter. The smooth, 2", reddish-purple leaves are similar in flavor to spinach. For "cut-and-come-again" harvests, cut tightly spaced plants 1-2" above the soil when plants are 4-6" tall, or allow to grow and harvest young, tender leaves. Plants can reach a height of 6'.
Growing Zone: 3 to 9
Light Requirements: Full Sun
