  • Full Sun

  • Low

Baby Leaf likes a position of full sun and remember to apply water fairly sparingly. Keep in mind when planting that Baby Leaf is thought of as half hardy, so remember to protect this plant from frosts and low temperatures. Ensure your soil is loamy and has a ph of between 6.0 and 7.0 as Spinach is a weakly acidic soil to neutral soil loving plant.

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 Baby Leaf about 60 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Baby Leaf

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 Baby Leaf is a half hardy plant.
