Know before you buy
Regiment F1 is a fast-growing hybrid that typically reaches maturity in just 37 days, making it an excellent choice for quick harvests.
While Regiment F1 is highly versatile and suitable for spring, fall, and winter planting, it is best suited for cooler weather. Its strong resistance to bolting helps it perform well, but extreme summer heat may still impact quality.
This variety features high resistance to Downy Mildew, specifically protecting against races 1-7, 11, 13, and 15, which helps ensure a healthier crop in various growing conditions.
For the best results, direct sow the seeds at a depth of 1/8 to 1/4 inches into fertile, moist soil as soon as the ground is workable. Ensure the planting site receives full to partial sun.
To maintain freshness, store your harvested spinach at low temperatures with high humidity. Under these conditions, the leaves will typically stay fresh for 10 to 14 days.
The arrowhead shape, combined with the lightly savoyed texture, provides a pleasant mouthfeel and holds dressings well. It offers a mild flavor profile that works perfectly in both fresh salads and cooked dishes.
