Why Choose Bloomsdale Long Standing Spinach Seeds?

• All-America Selections winner: Grow a recognized variety with a long history of reliable garden performance.
• Long-standing harvest: Bloomsdale’s strong bolt resistance can help keep plants productive longer in suitable cool-to-moderate weather.
• Deeply savoyed leaves: Dark-green crinkled leaves bring rich flavor and satisfying texture to both raw and cooked recipes.
• Two harvest stages: Pick tender baby leaves early, or allow plants to mature for full-size cooking spinach.
• Heirloom and open-pollinated: Enjoy a traditional variety and save seed from properly isolated plants.

Planting Tips for Success

• Plant in cool weather: Direct-sow 4–6 weeks before the last spring frost, or sow 6–8 weeks before the first fall frost.
• Sow at the right depth: Plant seeds about ½ inch deep, 2 inches apart, in rows 12–18 inches apart.
• Thin for your harvest plan: Thin established seedlings to 4–6 inches apart for larger plants, or harvest thinnings as baby spinach.
• Use sun or partial shade: Full sun supports strong growth, while afternoon shade can help extend the harvest in warmer weather.
• Prepare rich soil: Grow in fertile, well-drained soil with a pH around 6.5–7.0. Incorporate compost before sowing.
• Water consistently: Keep the soil evenly moist. Drought stress and heat can encourage bolting and tough leaves.
• Feed moderately: Use balanced fertility or a light nitrogen side-dressing when plants are established. Avoid overfertilizing.
• Harvest often: Pick outer leaves when plants have several established leaves, or harvest the entire plant before flowering for a larger bunch.
• Sow in succession: Plant small batches every 2–3 weeks during the cool season for a steadier supply.
