Spinach 'Virginia Savoy'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Virginia Savoy is thought of as half hardy, so although it can survive a small mild cold snap, it is wise to ensure that this plant is protected from frost damage. Ideally plant in loamy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.0 and 7.0 as Virginia Savoy likes to be in weakly acidic soil to neutral soil.

Sow 0.49 inches (1.25 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 3.12 inches (8.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 8°C / 46°F to ensure good germination.

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

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 Virginia Savoy is a half hardy plant.
