Description
Bloomsdale Long Standing Spinach is the heirloom every market gardener still grows. Deeply savoyed, crinkled dark green leaves have a rich, sweet flavour and far more substance than flat modern types. It is cold hardy, fast off the mark, and slower to bolt than almost any other open-pollinated spinach.
