Unusual red veining and red stems make this a stand out variety on the veg patch. Excellent as a baby leaf for salad use, when picked around 35 days from sowing. The leaf veining becomes more pronounced as the plants mature into large leaves.

Sowing Info

Direct sow spinach outdoors from March to September in well prepared, fertile, moist soil in sun or semi shade. Sow seeds thinly at a depth of 1cm (½in) in drills 30cm (12in) apart in soil which has been raked to a fine tilth.

Growing Info

When large enough to handle, thin out seedlings to 5cm (2in) apart. The thinnings are ideal for adding to salads. Sow every 3 to 4 weeks for a continual supply of spinach leaves throughout summer and autumn. For larger sized plants, thin to 7-10cm (3-4in). Spinach can suffer during very hot periods and must be kept well watered.
