This tropical powerhouse is the ultimate heat-loving spinach alternative for the peak of summer! A cousin to okra, 'Chief Kubo’s Prize' features stunning, deeply cut tropical foliage laced with vibrant magenta-red veins and stems--a true edimental! Fast-growing and incredibly productive, its mild-flavored leaves can be enjoyed raw in crisp summer salads, used like cabbage to wrap foods, or tossed into stir-fries.  

To top it off, it produces gorgeous, highly nutritious 5-inch yellow blooms that are also entirely edible. It thrives beautifully in containers and can easily be overwintered indoors in a bright, sunny window!
