Description
Botanical Name: Spinacia oleracea
Rounded, dark green, smooth leaves. This superb modern variety is resistant to downy mildew races 1-7 and slow to bolt which makes it ideal for 'baby' leaf production or use as regular spinach. This is the variety most sold in the supermarkets as baby leaf spinach.
| How To Grow |
Sow thinly in 1in (2.5cm) deep in rows 12in (30cm) apart. Water well during any dry spells. For baby leaves no further thinning is required if seeds are sown thinly. Repeat sowings at 2-3 weekly intervals for a continuous crop. For regular spinach, thin to 6in (15cm) between plants. Do not sow for mature plants in mid summer, only for baby leaf. Pick individual baby leaves as required to encourage further growth, up to 3-4 cuts. |
