About
Reliable medium-early variety for autumn, spring and winter cultivation. Robust, flavoursome and productive. Matador is 'the' tried and tested variety for your garden with large and tender leaves, bolt- and frost-hardy. It was Ronja's first spinach trial in her mum's raised beds that was a huge success. In spring when the spinach bolts and produces seed, you can easily save it and sow it again for your next crop. (Approximate seed count - 460)
