This is a fast-growing spinach variety, that produces large leaves on long stems, making harvest easy.

Winter-hardy with little to no protection, sow this spinach in the early spring and enjoy a harvest in less than 2 months from sowing. Sow another crop at the end of summer and it will overwinter into the following year and allow for harvest during the winter months.

In my zone 5a/b garden, this spinach variety grows throughout the winter with no protection and the leaves are barely affected by any hard freezes, snow, or rain.

Enjoy Verdil spinach fresh in a salad, steamed, or juiced. Harvest regularly and consider blanching and freezing the excess for quick availability during the winter months.
