Good King Henry (Blitum bonus-henricus)
$4.00Price
Perennial vegetable that provides nutrition three different ways
- young shoots in spring are cooked like asparagus
- arrow-shaped leaves treated like spinach
- immature flower spikes prepared and eaten like small broccoli florets
A reliable source of nutrition in cottage gardens for hundreds of years in Europe, it fell out of favor with the onset of industrialized agriculture Mature Height: 18-36 inches Mature Spread: 12-18 inches Note: Only a few are available now, and with care should overwinter. This is best planted and established in the spring. If you'd like to be notified when these are ready in the spring, email me.
