Description
Spinacea oleracea
Beloved heirloom variety—delicious flavor gets even better with frost!
Bloomsdale sets the standard for crinkly-leaved spinach, cranking out nutritional powerhouse leaves that can be picked and enjoyed as tender youngins or allowed to grow to their whopping size, which makes picking enough to cook a breeze! Spinach prefers cold weather and bolts in hot weather. Try sowing it in the fall, if you never have—with a little protection, leaves can be picked all the way through the winter in many areas!
