Space Spinach leaves are spoon-shaped and not at all savoyed for ease of cleaning. Color is a pleasant dark green and flavor is excellent. With a high percentage of female plants, Space Spinach is very resistant to bolting. In both our trials it was the highest yielder, primarily due to the long season over which harvest was possible. Resistance to downy mildew.
