    'Bloomsdale Long Standing" spinach is more bolt-resistant than the original Bloomsdale variety. It "stands" well in hot weather

    'Bloomsdale' was originally released by D. Landreth & Company in the 19th Century.

    'Long Standing Bloomsdale' was bred by Zwaan and Van der Molen in the Netherlands, and introduced in 1925

    45 DTM (early). Dark green, crumpled leaves.
    Approximately 75 seeds per gram, or 2,100 per ounce.
