Bloomsdale Spinach (Spinacia oleracea ‘Bloomsdale’)

Bloomsdale Spinach (Spinacia oleracea 'Bloomsdale') is a classic heirloom spinach variety treasured for its large, dark green, deeply crinkled leaves and exceptional flavour. This cool-season vegetable has been a favourite of home gardeners for generations thanks to its vigorous growth, high yields, and tender, nutrient-rich foliage. The heavily savoyed leaves provide excellent texture while maintaining a sweet, earthy flavour that improves even further during cool spring and fall weather.

Bloomsdale Spinach is incredibly versatile in the kitchen. Harvest young leaves for tender salads and sandwiches, or allow the foliage to mature for use in stir-fries, soups, pasta dishes, quiches, smoothies, casseroles, and steaming. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron and antioxidants, it is a nutritious addition to any home vegetable garden. Its ability to withstand light frosts makes it an outstanding choice for extending the harvest season in Alberta.

Bloomsdale Spinach performs beautifully in raised beds, traditional vegetable gardens, cold frames, greenhouse gardens, and large patio containers. It grows well alongside lettuce, peas, radishes, carrots, onions, and other cool-season vegetables, making it an excellent companion crop for succession planting.
