Water Spinach 'Yangtze'

Ipomoea aquatica

Water Spinach 'Yangtze'

Extra Large Plug Plant x 6


Water Spinach 'Yangtze' is a long, leafy green vegetable with hollow stems that grows in water or damp soil. Water spinach is a semi-aquatic and tropical plant so it grows well in the heat and in wet conditions, thriving in full sun and in greenhouses. Water spinach can be harvested using a cut-and-come-again method. You simply cut the main stems and after a few weeks, it will sprout new leaves and stems.


What am I Buying?

Plug plants are small, young plants grown in cell trays. Even the largest plug plants, described as extra-large or jumbo, are still small plants from cell trays and not established plants. Plug plants can be great value compared to buying more established plants however they may need some extra care to get them started.

Caring for Plug Plants

We recommend starting plug plants in a small pot and not planting directly into open ground or large pots/planters. You will want a plant pot roughly the size of a tea mug, commonly referred to as 7cm or 9cm pots. Ensure the pot has plenty of holes underneath and preferably over two tiers for even better drainage.
