Space

Space produces round, spoon-shaped leaves that are nearly smooth yet meaty, with a thick, wavy, slightly savoyed texture that market growers and chefs favor. Leaf color is usually described as dark green, though it is also noted as medium-green, and the leaves are notably tender. The plant itself grows upright and compact, holding its leaves off the soil so they stay clean and easy to harvest.

Space is an all-season spinach suited to both babyleaf and bunching harvests, and it works equally well eaten raw or cooked whether picked young or left to full size. It also adapts to larger containers, particularly for early spring and late fall growing, and is often recommended specifically for summer and fall harvests.

Sown in early spring, Space stands in the garden relatively long before bolting, and it grows vigorously at every stage, maturing fastest of all from a fall planting. It is consistently described as slow to bolt, holding up in warmer conditions for a longer harvest window than many spinach varieties. This bolt tolerance is paired with resistance to downy mildew, supporting a productive yield across the season.

Space is a hybrid spinach developed specifically for growing conditions in the Pacific Northwest.
