How to Propagate Okinawan Spinach or Gynura Bicolor from Cutting



Okinawan spinach, Gynura bicolor, Edible gynura, is a member of the chrysanthemum family (Asteraceae). It is native to the Thailand, China and Myanmar. Okinawan spinach is a perennial flowering plant, whose main attraction is its clump of chocolate-purple leaves with green, with a tropical, fleshy appearance. I wouldn't have guessed it was a composite, but sure enough, the flowers that appear above the foliage in fall are like a cross between groundsel and a dandelion. It is a perennial and therefore found for sale throughout the year. However, winter and spring is the best time.
