Beta Vulgaris
SPINACH-PERPETUAL is from the Silverbeet family & isn’t really perpetual. It is a perennial variety that has a similar leaf to the annual variety except that the leaves are smoother & it has narrower green stems, plus it grows to 50cm. It will self-seed prolifically if allowed, but a single plant will last in the garden for several years. The plant will shoot back from the base after it has been cut back hard late in summer. This variety has the advantage of not developing bitterness as it ages.
Dampen seed and leave on moist tissue paper for 1-2 hours prior to sowing. Can be raised in trays of Seed Raising Mix. For sowing direct, cover with mix & keep moist, It will grow well in any free-draining soil, but will grow best with soil that has been prepared improved.

We purchased the business in November 2018 and renamed it to ABSeeds (All ‘Bout Seeds) to make the title shorter and represent what we hope to achieve with this business in the years ahead.
Seeds that we can’t grow ourselves we will acquire from people who grow for us, or we may purchase seeds from reputable heritage seed companies.
