Notes

'Flamingo Improved' spinach (Spinacia oleracea 'Flamingo Improved') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and shade gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is one of the more cold-hardy crops and can keep growing through light freezes with some winter protection. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil. It reaches maturity in 27 days, so you can harvest it quickly.

Pairs well with Truchas lettuce, Peione parsley, and Super Fantastic tomato.
