Cooks Garden Favorite. Hybrid. This is a true three season spinach: heat tolerant and slow bolting, yet also resistant to the mildew that makes fall spinach so chancy. Quick growing -- ready in 40 days or less. Upright habit with smooth, rounded dark green leaves. High nutrition crop that freezes well, blanched and packed in airtight bags.
