Spinach Lazio has rounded, dark green, smooth leaves. This superb modern variety is resistant to downy mildew and slow to bolt which makes it ideal for 'baby' leaf production or use as regular spinach.
Sow thinly in 2.5cm deep in rows 30cm apart. Water well during any dry spells. For baby leaves no further thinning is required if seeds are sown thinly. Repeat sowings at 2-3 weekly intervals for a continuous crop. For regular spinach, thin to 15cm between plants. Do not sow for mature plants in mid summer, only for baby leaf. Pick individual baby leaves as required to encourage further growth, up to 3-4 cuts. Sow in Autumn and Winter.
