Lazio spinach seeds produce the tastiest spinach, packed with essential vitamins A, B, and C and also rich in mineral salts and iron. This disease-resistant variety makes the perfect vegetable seed to enjoy raw or cooked as a healthy, tasty addition to any meal.

How to Sow Seeds

Method: Sow thinly in 2.5cm (1 in) deep in rows 30cm (12 in) apart—water well during any dry spells.
Thinning: No further thinning is required for baby leaves if seeds are sown thinly.
Growing notes: Repeat sowings at 2-3 weekly intervals for a continuous crop. For regular spinach, thin to 15cm (6 in) between plants. Do not sow for mature plants in mid-summer, only for baby leaves. Pick individual baby leaves as required to encourage further growth, up to 3-4 cuts.
