Spinach 'Emilia'

A full sun position will ensure your plant thrives and remember to apply water fairly sparingly. Emilia is generally regarded as a half hardy plant, so although it can survive a small mild cold snap, it is wise to ensure that this plant is protected from frost damage. Emilia needs a loamy soil with a ph of 6.0 to 7.0 (weakly acidic soil to neutral soil).

Germination temperature: 12-25 ° C

Sow 0.49 inches (1.25 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 3.12 inches (8.0 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 8°C / 46°F.

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

Emilia 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.
