Notes

'Giant Nobel' spinach (Spinacia oleracea 'Giant Nobel') is a vegetable for food gardens and containers. 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 grows at a rapid rate and has an erect habit, so you can expect a quick harvest.

Pairs well with Great Lakes lettuce, Giant of Italy parsley, and Teddy dill.
