Grown by German Monks over 400 years ago and eaten as Spinach as the first course, followed by the fruit as the second course. It has stood the test of time and is now the currant rage. Grows 12" x 2'.

Summary: Disappointing
Comment: This plant is also known as Beetberry and seemed an interesting little plant to try because you could use the leaves as spinach salad leaves and the berries in the salad or eaten raw. It's very rare apparently and I've found out why!
The entire first package I bought never germinated. Normally the first batch of any new seed I try I sow some in a pot, and some in two or three places about the garden to see how well they'd catch on in different spots. Nothing happened. I thought maybe I'd got a bad batch so I trawled the Internet for ages trying to find another seller with this seed. I finally found one and ordered another set. I tried again and although some seeds of this new batch did germinate, they only lived a few days before they keeled over and died.
Now I consider myself to have a pretty green thumb, and can usually make things grow when others can't, so...APPROACH WITH CAUTION! I won't say to stay away completely because it's always good to try new plants, and growing conditions are so subjective that maybe it'll work for you even though it didn't for me.
