100 Viroflay Spinach Seeds Heirloom Large Leaf Vegetable Garden

Viroflay spinach is a classic heirloom variety prized for its broad, smooth, dark green leaves and vigorous growth. It produces tender, flavorful foliage that is equally suited to fresh use or cooking, making it a dependable choice for home gardeners and market growers alike.

Viroflay is a versatile culinary green with mild, sweet flavor and a soft texture. Harvest young leaves for salads or allow them to mature for sauteing, steaming, and soups. It grows best in cool weather and will bolt in heat, so plan sowings for spring and fall. Succession planting every two to three weeks extends the harvest window. Suitable for garden beds, raised beds, and containers.
