Grow the Classic Heirloom Spinach That's Been Feeding Families Since 1926
Picture a raised bed overflowing with lush, dark green spinach leaves — sweet, tender, and ready for the kitchen. Giant Noble Spinach (Spinacia oleracea) is one of the most trusted heirloom varieties ever developed, prized by home gardeners and market growers alike for its impressive size, bolt resistance, and exceptional flavor. With 600 NON-GMO seeds, you'll have more than enough for a full season of harvests.
Why Giant Noble Spinach Stands Out
- 🌿 Impressive size — plants grow up to 20" tall and 25" wide for maximum yield
- 🍬 Sweeter flavor — milder and less bitter than modern varieties, great fresh or cooked
- ☀️ Bolt-resistant — stays productive longer in warm weather without going to seed prematurely
- 🏷️ True heirloom, NON-GMO — open-pollinated variety introduced in 1926, save seeds year after year
- 🥗 Versatile in the kitchen — perfect fresh, steamed, canned, or frozen
- 💪 Nutrient-dense — rich in iron, vitamins A, C, and K

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to plant Giant Noble Spinach?
Spinach is a cool-season crop that thrives in spring and fall. Sow seeds outdoors 4–6 weeks before the last frost in spring, or 6–8 weeks before the first frost in fall. It tolerates light frost and actually tastes sweeter after a cold snap.
How long does it take from seed to harvest?
Giant Noble Spinach reaches maturity in about 45 days. You can start harvesting outer leaves as early as 25–30 days for baby spinach, or wait for full-sized leaves at 45 days.
What does "bolt-resistant" mean?
Bolting is when a plant prematurely goes to seed, making the leaves bitter and tough. Giant Noble's bolt resistance means it stays productive and flavorful longer than standard varieties, especially as temperatures rise in late spring.
Can I save seeds from this spinach for next year?
Yes! Giant Noble is an open-pollinated heirloom variety, which means you can save seeds from your harvest and replant them next season with the same results. This makes it an excellent long-term investment for your garden.
How many plants can I grow with 600 seeds?
At a standard spacing of 4–6 inches, 600 seeds can yield a very generous crop — enough to fill multiple raised beds or garden rows. Even accounting for thinning and germination variance, you'll have an abundant harvest all season long.
