Plant seeds about 1\/2 inch deep and keep the soil evenly moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10-14 days. Thin seedlings to stand 18-24 inches apart to allow for their spreading habit. For earlier starts, begin seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before transplanting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce established, New Zealand Spinach is relatively drought-tolerant but benefits from regular watering during dry spells. Mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest young leaves and tips regularly to encourage bushy growth; older leaves may become tough. This plant is generally pest-resistant and requires minimal care.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 gram of New Zealand Spinach seeds (non-GMO).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824792895798,"sku":"FOLIA2-1272","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6476578280_8fl1.jpg?v=1793004670","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/new-zealand-spinach-seeds-heat-tolerant-non-gmo-greens-1g","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
