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. We also have observed good results in a fall planting. The grower claims that this is a variety that can be grown from early spring until late fall without bolting. It was certainly the slowest to bolt in our trials.
