Matador Spinach – 100 Seeds

Matador Spinach is a very prolific summer spinach that’s been a gardener’s favorite since Victorian times, producing generous harvests of deep green crinkled leaves which are very flavorful and tender. The plant is slow to bolt, even in dryer conditions, and two or three sowings through the season will give you pickings right through into autumn. Smooth deep-green leaves are perfect for salad mix or as young spinach greens.

Growing Matador Spinach

• Grow in light shade to keep leaves from wilting and prevent plants drying out and bolting.
• Sow in shallow drills and thin seedlings gradually until plants are 25cm apart.
• Keep well watered, especially in dry spells.
• Cut leaves as you need them from the outside in, leaving the central crown to grow on and produce more leaves for a longer harvesting period.
