The listing, Abundant Bloomsdale Spinach Open Source.USDA Organic NON GMO has ended.
'Abundant Bloomsdale' spinach is slow to bolt and cold hardy, and has deeply savoyed (crinkled) and succulent leaves. The dark green color indicates high levels of carotenoids, such as lutein and beta-carotene, and the flavor is described as sweet.
Spinacia oleracea. 45 days.
Glossy, thick, heavily savoyed, succulent leaves can get large while still maintaining a good, sweet flavor. Very dark green leaves have an upright growth habit for ease of harvest either as baby leaf or when mature. A little slower growing than other spinach but the flavor makes up for it. Plants are much more compact than flat leaf types. Cool-weather tolerant, also resists bolting in the heat. Abundant Bloomsdale is the result of a breeding project with the classic Bloomsdale crossed to a disease resistant variety called Evergreen. The resulting cross was then heavily reselected by market farmer seed stewards in collaboration with the Organic Seed Alliance and John Navazio. A portion of the proceeds of this variety will go to further support Organic Seed Alliance breeding programs.
