Spinach – Bloomsdale (Heirloom)
(Spinacia oleracea)
Spinach ‘Bloomsdale’ is a classic heirloom variety grown for its richly textured, dark green leaves and exceptional flavour. Known as one of the most popular traditional spinach types, it produces thick, crinkled (savoyed) leaves that are tender, nutritious, and perfect for both fresh and cooked dishes.
This reliable, cool‑season variety thrives in early spring and autumn, delivering vigorous growth and excellent yields. Bloomsdale is particularly valued for its cold tolerance and strong performance in the home garden, making it a go‑to choice for gardeners looking for dependable, high‑quality greens. Its leaves can be harvested young for baby spinach or left to mature for larger, more robust plants.
