I was at one of our two reliable quality food stores a month or so ago and happened to see a stalk of this plant in a 4 inch pot outside the store on a rack, and I bought it. since then I have made 5 plants out of it. Harvest the leaves off of a branch, and stick that branch into a new pot. In a protected area, it is a perennial. https://www.gardensall.com/longevity-spinach/ It tastes nice.
