Growing in neat, rosette-shaped bunches, this hardy spinach has a mild, delicious flavour that’s perfect for sandwiches, omelettes, and soups.

Ideal for small spaces, this spinach is just as happy in pots as it is in garden beds; it’s easy to grow and low maintenance, thriving in sunny spots with moist soil.
