Marde Ross & Company – Perpetual Spinach Seed (Swiss Chard-Like Greens)

Discover Perpetual Spinach Seed

From Marde Ross & Company, Perpetual Spinach offers greens that resemble Swiss chard in sturdiness while delivering a spinach-like harvest cadence. The leaves are broad and fresh, with a mild sweetness that shines in salads, sautés, and side dishes. This variety invites repeated picking, so you can enjoy greens through multiple rounds rather than a single harvest.

What sets Perpetual Spinach apart is its extended yield, which can keep producing flavorful leaves beyond the typical spinach cycle. Its frost tolerance helps extend the growing window from summer into fall, allowing experienced and new gardeners to plan successive harvests rather than rushing for a final crop. The result is a versatile green that can adapt to changing weather while staying productive in full sun.
