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 1/29/2025: The seed dormancy issue we noted a few weeks ago is now much improved. The lot we are selling tested at 76% in the germination test that ended today.
