Perpetual spinach is really a type of chard, but the leaves are less crinkly and the veins aren’t as tough. The flavour is also more similar to spinach than most chards. It gets its name from its ability to grow almost all year round. The mild flavoured leaves are less likely to turn bitter than true spinach, even after bolting.

Growing Information

How to Sow

The seeds are big, so you can space them out easily when sowing direct. They can also be germinated in trays. While germinating, they should be kept moist but not constantly soggy. Reduce watering after germination.

How to Harvest

Cut the leaves to the base of the stems using some sharp scissors or secateurs. If you are not going to use the leaves immediately, stand them in water to keep them fresh or wrap them in plastic to retain moisture.

Spinach seeds
These seeds are easy to grow and the crop is ready to eat within a few short weeks, they are better than silver beet as they have narrow and much more tender stems which cooks as quickly as the leaves and have a nicer taste

Growing well after separating out

K

Kirsty Sharneil

Good germination and growth so far
Every seed I planted of these germinated (really quickly) and all are growing well... they are still seedlings at the moment but confident they will be vigorous growers after seeing their progress so far.
