Spinach 'Sardinia'

Sardinia likes a position of full sun and remember to apply water fairly sparingly. Keep in mind when planting that Sardinia is thought of as half hardy, so although it can survive a small mild cold snap, it is wise to ensure that this plant is protected from frost damage. Planting Sardinia in loamy soil with a ph of between 6.0 and 7.0 is ideal for as it does best in weakly acidic soil to neutral soil.

Sow 0.49 inches (1.25 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 3.12 inches (8.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 8°C / 46°F to ensure good germination.

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

As Sardinia is half hardy, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out (around 0°C / 32°F as a guideline) - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
