Viroflay spinach has very large, deep green leaves. It bolts before the other varieties, but it compensates by producing extra-large leaves. This makes it a great choice for freezing or selling at market. Thin well for larger plants.
French heirloom, pre-1860's. Also known as Monstrue de Viroflay.
Sowing Viroflay Spinach Seeds
Sow spinach seeds outdoors in early spring (March 15 in zone 5). Sow 1/2" deep and 2" apart. Thin to 4-6" apart. Space rows 16" apart. Full sun.
