Katuk (Sauropus androgynus)
Tropical Supergreen with Sweet, Nutty Flavor
Katuk (Sauropus androgynus), also called Sweetleaf or Sayur Manis, is a perennial shrub native to Southeast Asia, India, Malaysia, and the Philippines. Revered for its resilience and utility, Katuk thrives in tropical and subtropical climates, producing edible leaves, shoots, and flowers year-round.
This fast-growing shrub reaches up to 8 feet tall, with dark green leaves and long, pendant branches. In summer and fall, it blooms with white and red flowers that give way to purple fruits with small black seeds—all parts of the plant are edible. Its leaves boast a sweet, nutty flavor and can be eaten raw or cooked, making it a versatile addition to salads, soups, stir-fries, or even as steamed “tropical asparagus.”
Katuk’s nutritional profile is exceptional: its dried leaves contain up to 49% protein and are rich in calcium, iron, vitamins A and C, and antioxidants. Known in Indonesia for enhancing milk flow in breastfeeding mothers, Katuk is as beneficial as it is delicious. Unlike other greens, it tolerates heat without bolting, making it a reliable crop in warmer regions.
Low-maintenance and high-yield, Katuk prefers partial shade but can grow in full sun with consistent watering and damp, well-draining soil. Regular pruning encourages tender new shoots for harvest. Hardy in USDA zones 9-11, it’s a perfect fit for edible gardens and permaculture systems alike.

Great product and delivery
Really nice soil and awesome service
Never used because I ordered the wrong Water Filter. Mike was very helpful with the return and refund. Excellent Customer Service.
Great service. Soil is what I wanted and it off loaded exactly where I asked.
Plants are doing really well with this soil. Deep and rich looking soil, plants seem really happy. Much more cost effective (and no plastic bag waste) compared to buying bags of soil mix from a store.
The quality of the craftsmanship is superb! My formula one fan absolutely loves it!!!!
Worked like an absolute charm!
These markers were perfect for ones that we were replacing. The quality is great and they seem sturdy. The gold detail stands out and is visible from a distance. Shipping was very fast.
Good solution. The little flies have disappeared. We were sure to mist/moisten the surface of each plant once a day for 4 or 5 days, after the initial application of the nematodes, to keep the little guys mobile and able to get to any remaining eggs. So, go for it!
Plant was well packed and shipment was very fast. Received a very nice fully rooted plant in the pot!
The organic garden soil is doing very well in my garden bed. The company was professional, nice, and accommodating to my needs. They provide many types of things for your landscaping at a reasonable price.
Product was delivered promptly and the quality of the product was very good, as hoped for. I was thrilled to receive the product so quickly! Thank you!
