- An easy, reliable and milder alternative to spinach, which is very fast and easy to grow, cropping for much of the year.
What you need to know:
- 1 x Mr Fothergills Spinach Beet Perpetual Spinach Seeds
- Harvest: June to October
- Outdoors Sowing Guide: Sow outdoors thinly where they are to crop, 2.5cm (1”) deep directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Allow 40cm (16”) between rows. Early sowings may benefit from cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 7-21 days. Water well until plants are established. Thin out to 15cm (6”) apart, 1 or 2 further sowings will ensure a continuous supply of leaves. Pick a few leaves at a time, without stripping plants. Give cloche protection from October onwards to encourage cropping into the winter months.
- Soil Type: Fertile, well drained soil
- Hints & Tips: Pinch out the central shoots of the plants to prolong the period of harvest. Cook leaf beet as you would spinach.
- Pack Size: 250 Seeds
