Discover vegetable seeds for Bloomsdale Long Standing Spinach, an iconic variety that transforms your garden into a reliable source of dark green, thick, and flavorful leaves. With its slightly crinkled leaves and mild taste, this spinach is ideal for harvesting throughout the cold season and for quick and easy dishes.

Why choose Bloomsdale Long Standing Spinach

• Savoy and generous leaves: thick, velvety leaves that add character and a pleasant texture to your salads, quiches, and stir-fries.
• Consistent yield: a reliable variety that provides regular harvests, even after several weeks of cultivation, to feed families and friends.
• Mild and rich flavor: a versatile base that is equally suited to raw preparations and quick cooking, without pronounced bitterness.
• Controlled bolting: slower progression to flowering in temperate conditions, allowing for extended harvests before bolting.

Cultivation and care

These spinach seeds are suitable for sowing directly in the ground or in pots, depending on your space. For an optimal harvest, plant in early spring or autumn when temperatures remain cool.

• Sowing: sow directly in rows or small groups, lightly covering the seeds with soil.
• Spacing: allow about 20 to 30 cm (8 to 12 inches) between plants to allow leaves to spread and facilitate successive harvests.
• Exposure: prefer full sun to partial shade depending on your climate; moderate sun stimulates rapid growth without forcing the leaves.
• Watering: keep the soil cool and moist, without excess standing water, to avoid stress and bolting.
• Harvest: start picking young leaves as soon as they reach a satisfactory size; harvest regularly to encourage continuous production.

Uses and practical ideas

• Sautéed spinach with garlic and lemon as a quick and nutritious side dish.
