Renegade was selected specifically for flavor and disease resistance in the Northwest's prime spinach-growing region, where cool seasons allow the crop to develop its full nutritional profile. The variety combines practical bolt resistance with the synergistic blend of nutrients spinach is famous for, meaning you get a plant that stays put in the garden while delivering leaves rich enough to support serious health benefits. At 42 days to harvest, it's remarkably fast, letting you cycle crops through the season without long waits.
Renegade Spinach is grown primarily for fresh consumption as salad greens and cooking spinach. Baby leaves harvested at 3-4 inches work beautifully in raw salads, while mature plants offer substantial handfuls for sautéing, blending into soups, or adding to cooked dishes where you want spinach's mineral-rich earthiness. The high protein and micronutrient content make it especially valued by gardeners focused on nutritional density, whether for personal health or feeding families.

Direct sow Renegade Spinach seeds into garden soil as soon as the ground can be worked in spring, or in late summer for fall harvest. Spinach germinates reliably in cool soil and actually prefers direct seeding to transplanting.
Begin harvesting Renegade Spinach at 42 days from planting. For baby greens, pick leaves when plants reach 3-4 inches tall, pinching off tender outer growth. Individual leaves can be harvested anytime once the plant is established; older, outer leaves are ready first. Always harvest when plants are cool, ideally in early morning, then immediately rinse leaves under cold water and refrigerate to lock in crispness and nutrient retention.
