The Emerald Treasure, Ancient Resilience and the Spinach of Enduring Elegance

Bloomsdale Long Standing is the spinach gardeners return to when they want the real thing: deep emerald leaves, beautifully crinkled and richly textured, tender enough for salads and sturdy enough for the pan. It grows with quiet confidence in cool weather, offering generous pickings and a longer harvest window.

A whisper of history

Spinach has travelled a long road to reach our gardens, from ancient Persian fields, through medieval kitchens, and into the hands of European growers who refined it for flavour, texture, and reliability. Bloomsdale Long Standing carries that old-world intention: a classic, deeply savoyed spinach chosen for its enduring quality and its ability to stand a little longer before bolting when days begin to warm.
