An excellent cool-season crop for spring and fall gardens, Viroflay is especially valuable for gardeners wanting to extend their food harvest into colder weather. With winter protection, spinach can provide fresh homegrown greens during periods when many other garden vegetables are no longer producing. The large leaves are excellent fresh, cooked, or frozen for later use. 🌱 Growing Information How to Grow Viroflay Spinach from Seed Planting Depth: ½ inch Seed Spacing: 2–3 inches Row Spacing: 12–18 inches Germination Time: 7–14 days Days to Harvest: 40–50 days Sun Requirements: Full Sun to Partial Sun Planting Tips: Sow Viroflay spinach seeds directly outdoors in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked.
