Spinach 'Perpetual Spinach'

Spinach 'Perpetual Spinach' is a fantastic and highly productive leafy green, often mistaken for true spinach but actually a type of chard. This plant is a true workhorse in the UK vegetable garden, living up to its name by offering a continuous harvest of tender, dark green leaves from spring through to the first frosts, and even through winter in milder areas. It's much less prone to bolting than true spinach, making it a more reliable choice for sustained production. 'Perpetual Spinach' thrives in fertile, moisture-retentive soil in sun or partial shade. The leaves are delicious steamed, stir-fried, or used raw in salads.
