Description

Spinacia oleracea.1 packet contains 20gm seeds of spinach.

Spinach F1 Palco is an established favourite, it grows slowly, is high yielding and slow to bolt and is therefore very suitable for summer cultivation. It produces quality, dark green leaves, throughout the season.

Sow directly outdoors from March to September, it can also be overwintered with later sowings under glass. Spinach has similar growing conditions and requirements as lettuce, but it is more versatile in both its nutrition and its ability to be eaten raw or cooked.
