Spinach, Matador - Seeds
Spinacia oleracea Matador
A slow-growing variety noted for its dark green leaves, rounded and gently lobed, with a thick texture and a slightly wrinkled surface.
Matador Spinach is a classic variety appreciated for its slow growth, which allows it to develop thicker, high-quality leaves. It produces dark green foliage with a rounded, slightly lobed shape, a firm texture, and a mildly crinkled surface. This is a strong and adaptable spinach suitable for spring and autumn sowings, and it also performs well in early summer thanks to its moderate resistance to bolting. It offers steady productivity and tender leaves over an extended period.
Excellent for fresh salads or light cooking, as it maintains both flavor and structure.
How to sow Matador Spinach seeds
To germinate Matador Spinach, sow the seeds directly in the ground or in seed trays. Place them 1-1.5 cm deep in a loose, well-aerated substrate. Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Ideal germination temperatures range between 10 and 18 °C.
Seeds usually sprout within 8 to 14 days. Once the seedlings develop several true leaves, thin them out to 20-25 cm apart. With regular watering and good light, the plants will grow steadily and produce tender, high-quality leaves.
