Perpetual Spinach actually not spinach at all, but because it still keeps giving healthy green leaves during the heat when most spinach has gone to seed it does seem perpetual or never ending. It is a biennial however and will go to seed the next year. Till then enjoy shiny green leaves that taste similar to chard. This is much better for fresh eating than regular Swiss chard: the midribs are smaller and tenderer, and the leaves themselves are closer to the slightly succulent texture of spinach Cool Beans n Sprouts Brand Main picture does not indicate the amount being sent.
