It delivers the mild flavor and nutrition of spinach while keeping the robust constitution and heat tolerance of a mustard. Where conventional spinach bolts quickly under heat stress, Tendergreen keeps producing tender, high-quality leaves right through hot weather, and it shrugs off variable moisture, temperature swings, and a wide range of soil types. Baby leaves are ready in about 21 days for salads, and full-sized plants mature in about 45 days for cooking. That quick timeline makes it ideal for succession planting from early spring straight through fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(8, 74, 8);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGermination Rate: 85%.
