Grow fresh, nutrient-rich greens all season with the Spinach Seed Collection, featuring three classic heirloom non-GMO varieties: Viroflay, Giant Noble, and Bloomsdale. These reliable open-pollinated spinaches thrive in cool weather, providing continuous harvests for salads, cooking, and preserving. Fast to germinate and simple to grow, this diverse trio delivers tender baby spinach leaves or full, hearty bunches depending on how you plant and harvest.

Three Time-Tested Heirloom Varieties:

  • Viroflay – A French heirloom with smooth, broad leaves up to 12 inches long. Excellent for early spring sowing and quick baby spinach harvests.
  • Bloomsdale – The classic savoy spinach with crinkled, glossy leaves and superior cold tolerance, ideal for fall and overwintering crops.
  • Giant Noble – A broadleaf variety that produces large, tender leaves perfect for cooking, canning, or freezing.

Versatile for Indoor or Outdoor Growing:
Spinach is a cool-season crop that adapts to many growing setups—traditional garden beds, raised planters, patio containers, or indoor hydroponic systems. Sow thickly for baby spinach or space plants out for mature heads. Continuous succession planting ensures a steady supply of fresh greens for the kitchen.

Cold-Hardy and Reliable:
These heirlooms thrive across USDA Zones 3–9 and perform best in temperatures between 45–70°F. Bloomsdale and Noble are especially resilient to frost, allowing extended harvests in late fall or early spring.

Planting & Growing Instructions:

  • When to Sow: Early spring and late summer for fall crops
  • Soil Temp: 45–70°F
  • Depth: ½ inch deep
  • Spacing: Thin to 2–4 inches apart, rows 12–18 inches apart
  • Light: Full sun to partial shade
  • Care: Keep soil evenly moist and mulch lightly
  • Germination: 7–14 days
  • Harvest: Baby leaves in 25–30 days; mature bunches in 40–55 days

For best fall flavor, harvest after a light frost. Each packet includes clear guidance on planting, succession sowing, and seed saving.
