Dark green frilly leaves and excellent flavor characterize this early spring variety. This 1977 All America Winner provides abundant yields of large semi-savoyed leaves. Good in spring or fall. Slow to bolt. As with almost all of the new spinach varieties, leaves are spoon-shaped and not at all savoyed for ease of cleaning.
Color is a pleasant dark green and the flavor of the meaty leaves is excellent.
With a high percentage of female plants, it is very resistant to bolting. In both our trials and those of the Dutch grower who developed it, Space was the highest yielder, primarily due to the long season over which harvest was possible. Flavor is very good, both in salads and cooked. It possesses the excellent combination of being both a fast grower and slow to bolt. Here, a planting of April 19 did not begin to bolt until June 23.
