Complete product description
Bloomsdale Long Standing Spinach
Bloomsdale Long Standing Spinach seeds produce savoyed dark-green leaves, dependable cool-season flavor, and a long-standing habit that makes it a benchmark heirloom spinach.
Bloomsdale Long Standing Spinach performs best when the crop is timed for cool weather, established in fertile, well-drained soil, and kept growing without drought checks. The practical work is simple but not careless: sow at the proper depth, thin on time, water the root zone, inspect the undersides of leaves, and harvest before quality slips.
Spring and fall salads, cooked greens, and succession sowing are where this variety earns its place. The expected flavor is rich, mineral, mildly sweet when grown cool, with medium savoyed leaves and maturity about 40-50 days. This is not a decorative catalog promise. It is a crop that responds to soil, temperature, spacing, and the discipline of regular harvest.
Bloomsdale Long Standing is an old open-pollinated spinach widely maintained in American seed catalogs. Its exact early commercial record is less important than its enduring garden identity: deeply savoyed leaves and better holding ability than many older spinach strains.
Minimum Seed Count: 250 seeds
Additional variety notes
Variety overview
Bloomsdale Long Standing Spinach seeds give gardeners savoyed dark-green leaves, dependable cool-season flavor, and a long-standing habit that makes it a benchmark heirloom spinach. The variety belongs in a cool-season plan built around steady moisture, clean airflow, and harvest before heat or stress steals quality. In our seed room, we treat the packet as the beginning of a record: lot, sowing date, soil temperature, emergence, and the field notes that tell us what the variety actually did.Bloomsdale Long Standing Spinach is best suited to spring and fall salads, cooked greens, and succession sowing. Sow with the crop, not the calendar alone. Cool-season seed can sit in dry crusted soil or rush into weak growth when a warm spell arrives. A fine seedbed, even moisture, and prompt thinning matter more than ornamental fussing.
Flavor and texture are strongest when growth is uninterrupted. Harvest at the stage the variety was bred to give, then leave representative plants only when you intend to save seed. Bloomsdale Long Standing is an old open-pollinated spinach widely maintained in American seed catalogs. Its exact early commercial record is less important than its enduring garden identity: deeply savoyed leaves and better holding ability than many older spinach strains.
