Spinach 'Indian summer'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Indian summer is thought of as half hardy, so it will require protection in 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 Indian summer likes to be in weakly acidic soil to neutral soil.

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.49 inches (1.25 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 3.12 inches (8.0 cm) between Spinach plants. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 8°C / 46°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Indian summer 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 Indian summer is a half hardy plant.
