Botanical Interests Lavewa Spinach Seeds

Rich, green color on productive plants, 'Lavewa' is an open-pollinated variety that competes with hybrids for flavor, heat tolerance, and mildew resistance. Spinach is high in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and low in calories.

Sowing Information:

  • Light: Full sun
  • When to Start Inside: Not recommended; roots are sensitive to disturbance.
  • When to Sow Outside: RECOMMENDED. 4 to 6 weeks before your average last frost date, and when the soil temperature is above 40°F; ideally 50°–75°F. Successive Sowings: Every 3 weeks until 4 weeks before your average first fall frost date. If mulched, spinach can overwinter in sub-zero temperatures. Soil temperatures above 85°F halt germination.
  • Days to Emerge: 5–10 days
  • Seed Depth: ½ inch
  • Seed Spacing: A group of 3 seeds every 6 inches
  • Row Spacing: 12 inches
  • Thinning: When 1 inch tall thin to 1 every 6 inches 
  • Days to Maturity: 28–45 days

Growing Notes:

  • Harvesting: Pick individual leaves from the outer edges of the plant as they become big enough to use or cut the whole plant 1 inch above the ground; new leaves will be produced. When picking individual leaves, also removing the leaf stem at the same time is best; this reduces vulnerability to disease during die-back and conserves plant energy. Harvest before the plant sends up a flower stalk (bolting). Just prior to bolting, leaves take on an "arrowhead" shape, adding small keel shapes to the base of the leaf.
  • Attributes: Good for containers, disease-resistant, heat tolerant
  • Hardiness: Frost-tolerant annual. Very cold hardy; fall-sown plants may overwinter even in climates with sub-zero temperatures.
