Kang Kong (Bamboo Leaf)     |     Ipomea aquatica                Convolvulacae

---

 

Often called Swamp Cabbage or Water Spinach, this versatile and easy to grow ground covering plant, is more like it's cousins the Sweet Potatoes in growth habit and character.

 

Kang Kong does best for us in damp earth but we have never had any good results in water or boggy soil. Kang Kong can be easily kept in a large container, which is convenient for most people.

 

Harvesting the nutritious leaves as you need them means that it never gets out of control.
