These 200 premium-quality seeds help you grow one of Asiaβs most loved leafy greens β delicious, fast-growing, and perfect for home gardens across the UK mainland.
π± Discover the Taste of Asia
Known in Bangladesh as Kolmi Shak, in Thailand as Pak Boong, and internationally as Water Spinach or Kangkong, this versatile plant offers tender green shoots and hollow stems that cook beautifully in stir-fries, soups, and curries. Itβs a favourite across Southeast Asia because of its mild flavour and smooth texture. When you grow your own Water Spinach, every meal tastes fresher and more authentic.
πΏ Ideal for UK Home Growers
Although Water Spinach comes from warm climates, it grows very well in the UK during spring and summer. With proper watering and sunlight, it thrives in containers, pots, and garden beds. Because it grows quickly, you can harvest the young shoots within 30 to 45 days. Continuous trimming encourages new growth, so youβll enjoy a steady supply of fresh greens throughout the season.
