Bloomsdale Longstanding Spinach

Very cold-hardy dark green leaves with a heavily savoyed texture. Excellent for early spring and fall plantings. Offers strong cold-soil emergence but may bolt in hot weather. Performs exceptionally well in winter greenhouses or when overwintered outdoors under mulch. Developed by David Landreth in the 1800s, the original Bloomsdale spinach remains a reliable heirloom favorite. High Mowing Grower Rep, Ada, says: “This gorgeous heirloom is beautifully savoyed and super cold hardy. Sow some in a greenhouse in the fall and you'll have spinach all winter!” Plant Information: Days to Maturity: 45 days Crop Type: Field or tunnel Season: Early spring/fall Ideal for: Overwintering Type: Heirloom Seed Specifications: 1,550–3,750 (average 2,200) seeds per ounce 25–60M (average 35M) seeds per pound (M = 1,000) Growing Instructions: Babyleaf: 70M seeds per 100' bed (~2 lb/100' bed) or 700M seeds per 1,000' bed (~20 lb/1,000' bed) using 640 seeds/ft on 3' beds (16 rows/bed) Bunching: 1,
