Spinach 'Bloomsdale Savoy'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to apply water fairly sparingly. Keep in mind when planting that Bloomsdale Savoy is thought of as half hardy, so remember to protect this plant from frosts and low temperatures. Bloomsdale Savoy requires a loamy soil with a ph of 6.0 - 7.0 - it grows best in weakly acidic soil to neutral soil.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 3.12 inches (8.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 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 Bloomsdale Savoy about 60 days before your last frost date.

It is best planted in early spring and fall. If fall-planted, it will overwinter and produce much earlier than if it is spring-planted.

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 Bloomsdale Savoy is a half hardy plant.
