I love the flavor of this spinach, and it's juicy, succulent texture. This French heirloom from the 19th century is our family's favorite cool-weather treat. The flavor is not only low-acid, but complex, with a sweet buttery taste. We have had no trouble overwintering it in zone 7 with no special treatment or shelter.  Moderately savoyed (blistered like dinosaur kale) leaves are much tastier than the smooth-leaf hybrids that have taken over the grocery store. Like most spinach, it makes great baby leaves, but unlike many, it stays sweet and delicious when the plants are large. You can cut-and-come-again during fall and winter without having to replant. Plant shown was in a planter box in November. It went on to get very large and give us leaves whenever the weather was above freezing. 100 seeds
