Like a fine wine, Bordeaux adds exquisite color and sweet flavor, turning an ordinary salad into a gourmet experience. A beautiful innovation in spinach, Bordeaux has burgundy stems and veins that accent its dark green leaves. Its rich, tender leaves with sweet flavor can be picked at any stage from small baby leaves to full size and can be used fresh or to jazz up any dish including dip, pizza, and quiche. A nutritious, easy crop to grow, you will enjoy Bordeaux'Äôs attractive appearance as well as the fact that it is high in Vitamins A, C, iron, magnesium, folacin, and fiber. Spinach can be grown for most of the year in a range of climates, though as a cool season crop, it will do better in temperatures below 90 degrees (which can cause bolting). If mulched, it may over winter in climates with subzero temperatures. Successive plantings every three weeks will give you spinach for a very long period. It can be grown in full sun or partial shade.
