Red orache Atriplex...

beautiful rich colour

love the colour!

I use to have some of this , it was seeding all over the garden , I didn't mind it was easy to pull up .. I did use it in salads ......

Yes, I agree with everyone, lovely colour. I've heard of this before as a vegetable. I don't see it in the seed racks..must look next year!

Thanks all pleased you like it.....

it's a lovely colour :)

Thanks Grindle I am hoping it will reach 4ft this summer!!

Your photo is incredible! I have been trying to grow the red orach for some weeks now and have had no success as of yet. I have tried everything (position and condition, indoors and outdoors, pot and ground...), as well as contacting my organic seed supplier for advice. As a result, no actual advice as such, but I have been given more seeds from a different batch and will be trying for the last time, this weekend. How on earth did you do it?

Sorry Dax just stuck it in the ground and it was off, it must be three feet now!! have not eaten any yet...

I am so jealous. Oh and I am still waiting for something to happen?! I would like to know if it really does taste anything like spinach...

It has seeded now, so will have to wait and try it another time....
