This extremely fast-growing hybrid spinach, bred in Japan, has amazing vigor and quickly produces giant leaves that are at least double to triple the size of other spinach varieties. Plan on truly bounteous harvests, because Oriental Giant’s big and smooth, slightly arrowhead-shaped leaves produce their huge yields almost overnight. Oriental Giant has excellent mild and sweet flavor, rich green color and a succulent crunchy texture. This fine variety has outstanding disease resistance to downy mildew, races 1-4.
