Spinach 'Scarlet'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Scarlet is generally regarded as a half hardy plant, so it will require protection in frosts and low temperatures. Scarlet needs a loamy soil with a ph of 6.0 to 7.0 (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. For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 8°C / 46°F.

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

Scarlet is half hardy, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside - as a guideline, the minimum temperature outside should be approximately 0°C / 32°F.
