Winter Giant Spinach - Seeds
Latin name: Spinacia oleracea
Winter Giant is a popular and productive variety. As its name suggests, it grows well in cool temperatures. The leaves are dark green in color, tender and crinkled, with a rich flavour. Very cold-resistant and slow to bolt, which makes it a good variety to choose for sowing in the garden as well as for winter greenhouses.
