Notes

'Red Snapper' spinach (Spinacia oleracea 'Red Snapper') is a vegetable for containers and food 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 is grown for red-veined baby leaves with a novel leaf shape. It grows fast, so you can pick young leaves early.

Pairs well with Bauer lettuce, Fernleaf dill, and Persian basil.
