America spinach

Garden uses

Notes

'America' spinach (Spinacia oleracea 'America') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and shade gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It ranks among the more cold-hardy crops, and with some winter protection it keeps growing through light freezes. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil. It grows rapidly and has an erect habit, so you can sow it in a pot or a bed.

Pairs well with Parris Island lettuce, Giant of Italy parsley, and Teddy dill.
