Hablitzia tamnoides. From Cicada Seeds: Spinach vine is a cold-tolerant vining perennial that produces tasty greens from early spring to fall. It is hardy to zone 3 and can live for decades! It can grow in sun or shade- try planting it underneath fruit trees for it to clamber up.
Spinach vine is one of the first greens to emerge in the spring. The new shoots are edible and can be eaten like small asparagus. Throughout the season it will grow vines up to 10 feet long, covered in tasty leaves that can be enjoyed raw or cooked. Their flavor is mild, similar to lettuce, and the leaves are thin like lettuce as well. It prefers to grow in full sun but can grow in partial shade as well. Can be grown under fruit trees, or on a trellis, fence, or bush. It sometimes needs some help to climb.
Spinach vine does not like heavy, damp soils. Ensure it is planted in a well-draining spot. You can plant it on a small mound if your soil is very heavy or wet. It is slow-growing in its first year, but will eventually form a large clump that can be divided with a shovel to make more plants.
This is a genetically diverse mix from several sources, so you can select your favorite plants to propagate.
