Notes

'Tundra' spinach (Spinacia oleracea 'Tundra') 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 is an organic, semi-savoy variety that suits spring and fall planting.

Pairs well with Bauer lettuce, Persian basil, and Alpha calendula.
