Attractive to the palate and attractive in the garden is this pleasant alternative to spinach and other compulsory greens. With lightly crinkled, frilly, slate-green, oak-like leaves with an unusual deep purple venation, a colouring that intensifies as winter approaches, it has an excellent, very tender texture and gourmet flavour that gets even better after a frost. Useful in salads. 2½-3 ft.
