86/ Okinawa and longevity spinach, Gyruna bicolor and procumbens

An acquired taste. Leaves are a little thick, slightly waxy, a little mucosal and a bit pungently spinach-y. Only gets extra water if very dry. Does need a bit of fertilizer to produce well. Does not do well in hurricanes: branches stripped of leaves. Cut back in late fall and bring inside if temps dip below freezing. Gets aphids badly indoors but not outdoors so I don’t recommend growing this in zones colder than 8 East Coast.
