How to grow Spinach 'Spargo'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Spargo is thought of as half hardy, so remember to watch your frost dates and ensure you have this plant protected when the temperature dips. Spargo requires a loamy soil with a ph of 6.0 - 7.0 - it grows best in weakly acidic soil to neutral soil.

Growing Spargo from seed

Ensure a distance of 3.12 inches (8.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - look to sow at a depth of approximately 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 Spargo about 60 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Spargo

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 Spargo is a half hardy plant.
