Giant Noble Spinach

Grow abundant, nutritious spinach with large, tender leaves using Giant Noble – a vigorous variety that produces thick, dark green leaves with smooth texture and mild, sweet flavor. This productive spinach is perfect for fresh salads, sautéing, smoothies, and cooking, offering exceptional yields and slow-bolting performance.

Growing Information

• Days to maturity: 40-50 days from direct sowing
• Planting: Direct sow in early spring or late summer for fall harvest; plant seeds 1/2 inch deep, 2-3 inches apart
• Spacing: Rows 12-18 inches apart; thin seedlings to 4-6 inches apart
• Sun: Full sun to partial shade (4-6 hours daily)
• Zones: 3-9 (cool-season crop)

Harvest & Use

Begin harvesting when leaves reach 4-6 inches long – pick outer leaves for continuous production or cut entire plant at soil level. The large, smooth leaves are perfect for fresh salads, sautéing with garlic, adding to smoothies, wilting into pasta, or cooking in soups and stews. The mild, sweet flavor appeals to even picky eaters. Store fresh spinach in the refrigerator for up to a week, or blanch and freeze for long-term storage.

Care Tips

Giant Noble spinach thrives in cool weather and rich, well-drained soil. Water consistently – about 1 inch per week – for tender, flavorful leaves. Mulch to conserve moisture and keep roots cool. Plant in early spring or late summer to avoid hot weather, which causes bolting. This variety is slower to bolt than many spinach types, extending your harvest window. Practice succession planting every 2 weeks for continuous harvest. Companion plant with strawberries, peas, or brassicas for optimal garden health.

Why Choose Giant Noble

This reliable variety offers exceptional leaf size, slow-bolting performance, and vigorous growth that makes it ideal for both fresh eating and cooking. The smooth leaves are easier to clean than savoy types, and the mild flavor makes this perfect for introducing spinach to reluctant eaters. Whether you're making fresh salads or cooking nutritious greens, Giant Noble delivers superior quality and abundant yields.
