Description
Spinach Perpetual Leaf Seeds - Irish Plants Direct
The Beta vulgaris var. cicla commonly known as Perpetual Spinach, is a versatile and long-lasting leaf beet that produces tender, spinach-like leaves throughout the growing season.
Despite its name, Perpetual Spinach is actually a chard variety. The Latin name Beta vulgaris reflects its relation to beetroot, while "cicla" denotes its leafy form. This hardy plant is highly valued for its ability to provide a continuous harvest and its excellent tolerance to heat and cold, making it perfect for year-round growing.
This robust plant grows to a height of 30-45 cm and thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with full sun or partial shade.
Perpetual Spinach is slower to bolt compared to traditional spinach, ensuring a steady supply of tender, dark green leaves. It is ideal for salads, steaming, or stir-frying, offering a mild flavour and soft texture that suits a wide range of dishes.
Seed Qty: Approx. 225
Sow: March - July (outdoors) or September (autumn sowing)
Germination: 7 - 14 days
Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil; slightly acidic to neutral pH
Height: 30 - 45 cm
Harvesting: 6-8 weeks after sowing; cut-and-come-again
Companion Plants: Lettuce, Onions, Carrots
Avoid Planting With: Potatoes, Beets
Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during dry spells, to encourage lush growth and prevent stress.
Sowing Instructions
Outdoors: Sow seeds directly into prepared soil in rows from March to July for summer crops, or in September for an autumn crop. Space seeds 2-3 cm apart and cover lightly with soil. Keep the soil moist until germination occurs. Thin seedlings to 20-30 cm apart once they are established to allow for proper growth.
Perpetual Spinach is a must-have for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance, high-yielding crop that delivers nutritious leaves over an extended period. Its versatility in the kitchen and ease of cultivation make it a staple for vegetable gardens and allotments alike.
