“Winter Giant” Spinach

We are really pleased to have found a source of Winter Spinach with good germination, and what is a well-maintained line of stock seed. 

This modern variety is related to the old heirloom “Monstreux de Viroflay” – famous for its huge tender leaves for use over winter – that has been carefully improved by traditional breeding methods. It has been reselected and is less likely to bolt if the weather gets hot.

Just to be clear , this is Winter Spinach, a cool-weather plant.. You sow it at the end of summer, for use over winter. Don’t try to sow winter spinach in Spring, as it would bolt (go to flower) as soon as the weather warms up. But sowing this at the end of summer should give you large amounts of tender spinach over winter.
