A plant cannot be both a perennial and an annual - it is one or the other, in this case a cold sensitive perennial. That it may be used as an annual/single season plant does not make it one. "Also, the entirety of the plant is toxic; the flowering structures even moreso." Explain that to the millions of Asians who regularly consume this plant. I'm sure they'd all be very surprised they are not dead. It has also been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries.

Since it is freshly dug and potted, I'll take a wild guess at a white flowered Campanula, species I could not find. That's mint behind it. Both are vigorous spreaders which is why they are common pass-a-long plants. Added: Campanula punctata, Spotted Bellflower.

I think it's interesting that both spinach and Malabar Spinach are in the same order of the pinks Caryophyllales, but in 2 different families, yet their leaves are so similar, when leaf forms in that order have radiated into genera like Drosera and Dionaea. Spinacia oleracea Basella alba Some botanists have separated the Chenopodium subfamily Chenopodoideae into it's own family Chenopodiaceae. I see no reason to waist time and effort cultivating Spinacia oleracea when there is so much free Lambs Quarters, Chenopodium alba free for the taking. A bag of spinach from the store is cheap and easy.
