Slow bolting, cold and heat tolerant. Light pink root. Resistant to DM race 1-11, 14,15. Can be sowed in spring, summer and fall seasons. Spinach is a cool weather crop. Seeds prefer to germinate in cold weather. Optimal soil temperature for emergence is 10~18 ?C/50~65?F. It can be planted when soil is workable in spring. Higher soil temperature ( over 20?C/68?F) may result in sharp decrease in germination rate. Seeding in summer is not recommended. Spinach tends to bolt (seed-stalk development and flowering ) as day length, temperature and plant density increase. Water stress and inadequate nutrients increase bolting risk. Exposure of young plants to low temperature (4?C/40?F ) also increases the risk of bolting. Apx. 2500 seeds per ounce.
