Spinach Seeds – Bloomsdale Long Standing | 200 Seeds | Heirloom Savoy Leaf | Slow Bolting | 45 Days

Grow a classic heirloom favorite with Bloomsdale Long Standing Spinach (Spinacia oleracea). First introduced in the late 1800s, this open-pollinated variety remains one of the most trusted spinach types for home gardeners and small growers.

Bloomsdale is known for its deeply crinkled (savoyed), glossy dark green leaves with rich flavor and tender texture. It produces high yields and stands longer before bolting than many traditional varieties when kept evenly watered—making it an excellent choice for both spring and fall plantings.
