❤️ Why you'll love it
Three extraordinary edible perennials that serious growers search for and rarely find. Plant them once and they will feed you, quietly and reliably, for years to come.
🌿 Details
CROSNE: A hardy, unusual root vegetable grown for its spiral-shaped tubers with a crisp texture and nutty flavour. Easy to grow and harvest in late autumn, Crosne thrives in most soils and adds interest to edible gardens or permaculture plots. The small, knobbly tubers (crosnes) can be eaten raw, cooked or pickled.
BABINGTON LEEK: A hardy, perennial wild leek grown for its mild, garlicky flavour and elegant, curly bulbils. Unlike traditional leeks, it multiplies itself year after year, producing edible leaves, stems and aerial bulbils. Thriving in poor soils and coastal conditions, Babington leek is extremely low-maintenance and ideal for perennial beds, forest gardens or naturalistic planting. Harvest lightly throughout the year for a subtle onion-garlic addition to salads and cooked dishes.
PERPETUAL SPINACH: A reliable, long-cropping leafy green valued for its tender, spinach-like leaves with a mild, earthy flavour. More heat- and cold-tolerant than true spinach, it produces continuously over many months with regular picking. Easy to grow in most soils, perpetual spinach is perfect for kitchen gardens and small spaces, providing a steady supply of nutritious greens for salads, steaming or sautéing.
CROSNE: Plant in full sun or partial shade in loose, well-drained soil; harvest the tubers in late autumn after the foliage dies back.
SPINACH: Please plant in a shady cool place, in rich soil, until recovered from delivery. Pick as a cut-and-come-again crop, taking outside leaves.
Supplied bare root, carefully packed with a moisture source to ensure freshness.
Plant height: approximately 20cm.
Please remember that most plants (except Evergreens) are dormant in Autumn/Winter so your order may have no leaves until Spring.
🪴 What Does Bare Root Mean?
Our plants have their full root systems but are carefully removed from the pot and soil before delivery.
The roots are wrapped in moist material and eco-friendly packaging to keep them fresh during transit.
It's less messy, reduces waste, and allows the plant to settle into your garden more easily once planted.
