Spinach 'Giant Winter' is distinguished by its resistance to low temperatures and its ability to produce tasty leaves throughout the winter. These nutrient-rich leaves are perfect for salads, soups, or to accompany various cooked dishes.

For best results, sow directly into the ground in late summer or early fall. Sow seeds 1 cm deep, in rows 25 to 30 cm apart. Thin out to about 10 cm to allow for good leaf development. This leafy vegetable prefers fertile, organic-rich, well-drained soil.

Water regularly to maintain consistent moisture, but avoid overwatering to prevent disease. Harvest outer leaves as they mature, leaving younger ones for continued production. This cold-tolerant spinach is perfect for providing fresh, nutritious greens even in winter.
