How to grow Spinach 'Bloomsdale'

  • Full Sun

  • Low

A full sun position will ensure your plant thrives and remember to apply water fairly sparingly. Keep in mind when planting that Bloomsdale is thought of as half hardy, so remember to protect this plant from frosts and low temperatures. Ideally plant in loamy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.0 and 7.0 as Bloomsdale likes to be in weakly acidic soil to neutral soil.

Growing Bloomsdale from seed

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 3.12 inches (8.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.49 inches (1.25 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 8°C / 46°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Bloomsdale about 60 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Bloomsdale

Ensure that temperatures are mild (minimum night temperatures should be around 0°C / 32°F) and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Bloomsdale is a half hardy plant.
