Noble

Spinach

40d to harvest

Sink your senses into Noble’s richly textured leaves, where deep savoyed ridges catch the light like fine lace. At maturity in about 40 days, this spinach forms an abundant rosette of tender, dark green foliage with a pleasantly mild, sweet-forward flavor and a crisp-yet-silky bite. Grow Noble for fresh salads, quick sauté-style skillet meals, and velvety sauces that showcase its distinctive, crinkled character.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I water Spinacia oleracea during its main growing phase (around days 20–40)?

Keep soil consistently evenly moist but not waterlogged, since spinach has shallow roots that dry out quickly. In typical home garden conditions, water about 1–2 times per week to maintain steady moisture, but increase frequency during windy or hot spells so the top 1 inch of soil doesn’t dry. Mulch lightly to slow moisture loss and reduce stress that can trigger early bolting.

How do I know when Spinacia oleracea is ready to harvest?

Harvest when leaves are tender and reach your desired size, typically around 35–45 days after sowing. For baby leaves, pick when plants have several true leaves; for larger heads of leaf, wait until leaves are fully expanded but before the plant bolts. If the center begins to stretch upward or flowering starts, harvest immediately or remove the plant because leaf quality drops fast.
