An opportunity to grow a very rare, dual-use variety. Orach is a drought resistant plant, producing very tasty salad leaves and cooking greens, not dissimilar to spinach. Rose Gold produces zesty green leaves on pink stems. When the plant goes to seed, the party really begins, with tall, pink and gold spangly seed heads. Use fresh, dry or just enjoy the sound of them rustling in the wind. 

Plants come back best when self sown - allow at least one plant to self sow for next year's supply.

• Sow: April undercover, May-June outside.
• Plant: 4-6 weeks after sowing at 30cm. Wait until risk of frost has passed.
• Harvest: Young leaves for eating. Pick stems when flowers are half open. 60cm stem length.
• Vase: Expect a vase life of 7 days.
