Very cold-hardy dark green leaves with heavily savoyed texture.
For early spring and fall; good cold soil emergence but a tendency to bolt in the heat. Performs well in winter greenhouses or overwintered outdoors under mulch. David Landreth developed the original Bloomsdale spinach in the 1800s.
Bloomsdale Spinach
Sow in early spring for the first crop, and again in late summer for a fall crop. Grows best in average, well-drained soil, in full sun. Plant seeds evenly in rows that are 1-2’ apart. Cover seeds with ½” inch of fine soil and firm lightly. Thin seedlings to 6” apart when they are 1-2” tall. Keep plants well-watered during hot, dry weather, to promote fast growth. Plants should receive at least one inch of water a week. Bloomsdale Long Standing Spinach holds up better than other varieties of spinach in warm weather and is slower to bolt.
