Planting & Care

Sow Viroflay Spinach seeds directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked in spring, or in late summer for a fall harvest. Plant seeds about ½ inch deep and 1 inch apart, thinning to 4–6 inches when seedlings are 2 inches tall. Spinach prefers cool temperatures and may bolt in hot weather; provide shade or grow as a fall crop in warmer regions.

Keep the soil evenly moist to encourage tender leaf growth. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly if needed, but avoid excessive nitrogen, which can cause rapid, weak growth. Harvest outer leaves when they are large enough to eat, or cut the entire plant at the base for a continuous supply.
