Spinach Perpetual

The spinach that never bolts. Spinach Perpetual (Leaf Beet) produces large, glossy, dark green leaves with a mild, earthy flavour from a single sowing that provides a continuous harvest for twelve months or more — unlike true spinach, which bolts at the first sign of heat or drought. The most reliable leafy green in the kitchen garden.
