Spinach 'America'

A full sun position will ensure your plant thrives and remember to apply water fairly sparingly. Keep in mind when planting that America is thought of as half hardy, so remember to protect this plant from frosts and low temperatures. America 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 America about 60 days before your last frost date.

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 America is a half hardy plant.
