Red Plume, Atriplex Seed

Red Plume Atriplex, also called Red Orach or Mountain Spinach, is an heirloom leafy green with deep red to magenta foliage. Upright plants can reach 4–6 feet, adding ornamental height while providing tender edible leaves. Young leaves are excellent raw in salads, while mature leaves can be cooked like spinach and retain much of their color. This heat- and drought-tolerant plant performs well in full sun and well-drained soil.
