Spinach 'Apollo'

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to apply water fairly sparingly. Apollo is generally regarded as a half hardy plant, so remember to protect this plant from frosts and low temperatures. Apollo needs a loamy soil with a ph of 6.0 to 7.0 (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). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 8°C / 46°F.

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

Apollo 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.
