Notes
'Rangitoto' spinach (Spinacia oleracea 'Rangitoto') 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 reaches maturity in 27 days, so you can harvest it early.
Pairs well with Great Lakes lettuce, Touchstone Gold beet, and Fernleaf dill.
