Sokoyokoto (Lagos Spinach) (Certified Organic)

Grown by Twin Oaks Seed Farm – 40 days – Celosia argentea

A great source of summer greens, and the most popular plant for cooked greens in Nigeria. We got this seedstock from Rushdat Hale, who brought them from Nigeria. The cooked greens have a taste and texture similar to spinach, and they grow well for us with no pest or disease pressure. Consider planting successions. If you let them grow all season the plants develop pink and tan flowers and can grow up to about six feet tall. Use caution as these often will self-sow. 1100 seeds/gram.

Note 1/5/2025: This variety tends to have a high level of seed dormancy. Right now it is testing at 42%, and we expect that a high percentage of the remaining seeds are dormant. We’ll test again in a few weeks, but for now we will be packing double the listed quantities.
