A farm original and the first "out-of-the-closet"(inside, seed industry joke), open pollinated "red" spinach on the market.  Beaujolais is a striking magenta red veined spinach that is just beautiful in a salad mix or on its own as a salad. Its veins glow much in the same way baby chards do but with a much milder sweeter flavor. Buttery tenderness at baby leaf stage when it should be cut. The red spinaches are not well suited to growing for bunching size as they have a tendency to bolt earlier than standard types. Update: Very slow bolting in the cool spring/summer of 2011..the leaves grew into full spinach size without bolting.

30 days baby leaf

Packet size: 200 seeds, additional bulk sizes.
