Notes

'Red Tabby' spinach (Spinacia oleracea 'Red Tabby') 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 at a rapid rate and has an erect habit. You can expect it to mature in 31 days.

Pairs well with Great Lakes lettuce, Touchstone Gold beet, and Fernleaf dill.
