Organic Verdil spinach seeds are a gardener's delight, known for producing robust plants with vibrant, glossy leaves. This variety of spinach is highly prized for its adaptability, vigorous growth, and delectable taste. Whether you are a home gardener or a small-scale farmer, Verdil spinach is an excellent addition to your garden, offering both aesthetic appeal and culinary versatility.
Appearance of Verdil Spinach
Verdil spinach plants are characterized by their striking dark green leaves, which are smooth and glossy, giving them a lush and healthy appearance. The leaves are broad and slightly crinkled, creating an attractive rosette that makes this spinach variety stand out in any garden. The plants typically reach a height of about 6 to 8 inches and spread out to form a dense, compact growth habit.
One of the distinguishing features of Verdil spinach is its sturdy stems, which support the large, tender leaves. This makes the plant less prone to damage from handling and harvesting, ensuring that you can enjoy fresh spinach leaves throughout the growing season.
Growing Verdil Spinach
Organic Verdil spinach seeds are ideal for both spring and fall planting, as this variety thrives in cooler temperatures. To achieve the best results, sow the seeds directly in well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Spinach prefers a location that receives full sun to partial shade, allowing the plants to develop their full flavor and lush foliage.
Before planting, prepare the soil by incorporating compost or aged manure to enhance its fertility. Sow the seeds about ½ inch deep and space them approximately 1 inch apart in rows that are 12 to 18 inches apart. Once the seedlings emerge, thin them to a spacing of 4 to 6 inches to provide ample room for growth.
Verdil spinach is known for its fast growth rate, typically maturing in about 40 to 50 days. Regular watering is essential to keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Mulching around the plants helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds, contributing to healthier growth.
Harvesting and Taste
The best time to harvest Verdil spinach is when the leaves are tender and have reached their full size, usually when they are about 3 to 4 inches long. Harvest the outer leaves first, allowing the inner leaves to continue growing for subsequent harvests. Alternatively, you can cut the entire plant at the base if you prefer a larger, one-time harvest.
Verdil spinach is renowned for its mild, sweet flavor, which is less bitter than many other spinach varieties. The tender leaves are perfect for fresh salads, adding a burst of green and a pleasant taste to any dish. When cooked, Verdil spinach retains its vibrant color and texture, making it an excellent ingredient for sautés, soups, and casseroles.
Benefits for the Garden
In addition to its culinary uses, Verdil spinach is a valuable plant for the garden ecosystem. Its dense foliage helps suppress weeds, and as a cool-season crop, it can be planted as a succession crop in rotation with other vegetables. This practice not only maximizes garden productivity but also helps maintain soil health.
Organic Verdil spinach seeds are a must-have for gardeners seeking a reliable, flavorful, and attractive leafy green. With its glossy, dark green leaves, mild taste, and easy cultivation, Verdil spinach is an excellent choice for both novice and experienced gardeners. By following simple planting and care guidelines, you can enjoy a bountiful harvest of this delightful spinach variety throughout the growing season.

Let customers speak for us
Working great
I bought these seeds to go in bundles of packets of vegetable seeds that I will put in the Blessing Box at a church here in town about late January so people who need to can supplement the groceries they buy with a garden. I'm sure they will love them. If my budget stretches that far, I will get some for myself and let you know how I like them. I still have eight bundles worth of packets of seeds to purchase for them first, though.
Appreciate that you have this in bulk quantities. We use this as a rooting hormone and as a potting mix and soil supplement. Kelp meal is rich in minerals and micro-nutrients and contains growth hormones that support healthy root growth.

I grow flats of this for my pet pigs, because of the high nutritional content. They love it. I find them waiting at the growing location every afternoon waiting for their fave. I've grown beautiful flats of pea sprouts and alfalfa for them too, but they turn up their snouts and walk away.
