Spinach Red Kitten F1
Salad leaf can be grown all the year round; outside in the spring, summer and autumn and then under protection in the winter. Even on your window sill! To grow indoors ensure the developing plants receive plenty of light and are kept frost free. All you have to do then is just cut off the leaves when required.
Spinach Red Kitten is a unique variety which is ideal for the use in baby leaf salads. It would add a bit of colour to your salad leaves with its attractive red stem and oriental shaped leaf. This salad leaf is very sweet in flavour.
