Worthwhile spinach-alternative which does not run to seed even on dry soils. High yields of large, dark, fleshy, tasty leaves produced over several months. Invaluable.

We can reassure you that all the seed is regularly extensively trialled, and quality tested. Our seed is 100% guaranteed until the end of the Sow by Date. In fact, our sow by dates are conservative, and if seed is stored well in a cool dry place they will almost certainly last significantly longer and still give good germination for a year or two more.

FAQs

Is Perpetual Spinach the Same as Swiss Chard?

Perpetual spinach is in the same family as chard, but is a different kind of vegetable. Perpetual spinach is a member of the beetroot family that grows spinach-like leaves, while more common cultivars of Swiss Chard have thicker, more colourful stems and a different taste. They are not interchangeable in recipes, but they are very closely related.

How to Grow Perpetual Spinach from See

To grow Perpetual Spinach seeds, sow the seeds in their final growing position, a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Water them regularly and make sure the soil remains moist. Thin the plants gradually to 20cm (8in) apart as they grow to allow adequate space for them to mature. When harvesting, harvest the leaves, but not the crowns–the leaves will grow back eventually.

How Long Does Perpetual Spinach Last?

Perpetual Spinach seeds are hardy and will self-seed after the second year, technically making them a biennial. Typically, if properly maintained, the plant will continue producing leaves throughout the growing season, making these vegetable seeds great value for money.
