The Winter Giant variety of spinach is a frost-hardy leafy green well-suited for cooler climates. This fast-growing, annual plant produces large, dark green, slightly crinkled leaves. It thrives in autumn, winter, and early spring, making it ideal for colder conditions. The leaves can be harvested as baby greens or allowed to mature for a more robust flavor. Mature leaves are best cooked, as they offer a bold spinach taste. This variety is particularly suited for cooler climates.
