Sissoo Spinach (Brazilian Spinach) - Alternanthera sissoo

The only thing better than a garden that looks immaculate is an immaculate garden that tastes scrumptious, too. No more letting bags of salad greens go to waste. Grow your own Sissoo spinach, and you can cut it fresh each day. Raw or cooked, Sissoo spinach leaves will brighten up any power bowl. This perennial evergreen herb grows beautifully in warm climates and makes a great ground cover or small shrub.
