Longevity Spinach (Live Plant)

Typically 7″-12″ – Depending on timing and availability.

Gynura Procumbens (Miracle Spinach) is an easy and fast-growing vegetable plant used in Asian traditional systems of medicine for its therapeutic applications. In Malay, it is called Sambung Nyawa (“Prolongation of Life) and in Chinese it is called Bai Bing Cao (“100 ailments”), referring to its perceived disease-preventive versatility. It shows potential for anti-hyperglycemic, anti-hypertensive, and other properties. Although not a true spinach (Spinacia Oleracea), the leaves can be used much like spinach, raw or cooked. The leaves may also find use when used topically for wound healing and inflammation.
