About (From this Label)

Tender and luscious; a winner in our spinach trials. The smoother leaf makes it ideal for baby greens. Easy to grow and heat tolerant. Rich green color on productive plants, 'Lavewa' is an open-pollinated variety that competes with hybrids for flavor, heat tolerance, and mildew resistance. Tender baby greens can be harvested in as little as 28 days. Spinach is high in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and low in calories. This packet sows up to 48 feet.

Planting and Care Instructions (From this Label)

When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED. 4 to 6 weeks before your average last frost date, and when soil temperature is above 40°F: ideally 50°-75°F. Successive Sowings: Every 3 weeks until 4 weeks before your average first fall frost date. If mulched, spinach can overwinter in sub-zero temperatures. Soil temperatures above 85°F halt germination. Mild Climates: Sow in fall for cool-season harvests. When to start inside: Not recommended; roots sensitive to disturbance. Special sowing instructions: If growing for baby greens, you can sow as close as 1" apart without thinning. Thinning: When 1" tall, thin to 1 every 6".
