Notes
'Bloomsdale' spinach (Spinacia oleracea 'Bloomsdale') is a vegetable for containers, food gardens, and shade gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. Few crops handle cold as well, and with a little winter protection it grows on through light freezes. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil. It is grown for fresh leaves and reaches maturity in 30 days.
Pairs well with Parris Island lettuce, Bright Lights Swiss chard, and Peione parsley.
