'Monstrueux de Viroflay' spinach (Spinacia oleracea 'Monstrueux de Viroflay') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, 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 grows fast and has an erect habit. It matures in about 40 days and comes from open-pollinated seed.
Pairs well with Truchas lettuce, Bok choy, and Moss Curled parsley.
