How to grow Spinach 'Tiger cat'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Tiger cat is thought of as half hardy, so it will need cloching or fleece protection when the temperature dips. Tiger cat requires a loamy soil with a ph of 6.0 - 7.0 - it grows best in weakly acidic soil to neutral soil.

Growing Tiger cat from seed

Look to ensure a distance 3.12 inches (8.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.49 inches (1.25 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 8°C / 46°F to ensure good germination.

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

Transplanting Tiger cat

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 Tiger cat is a half hardy plant.
