Description

Spinach 'Viroflay Giant Nobel' (Spinacia oleracea), often sold simply as Giant Nobel, is a renowned 1950 All-America Selections winning open-pollinated heirloom. Valued for its enormous production capacity and smooth, broad foliage, it produces massive rosettes that can spread up to 25 inches across. The extra-large, thick, dark green leaves remain exceptionally tender and sweet, making them versatile for both fresh baby leaf picking and full-sized cooking greens. Demonstrating slower bolting characteristics than older spinach varieties, Giant Nobel excels in early spring and late autumn plantings, producing heavy yields for fresh salads, freezing, canning, or steaming.

Good to know

Massive leaf surface area delivers exceptionally heavy harvest yields per plant compared to standard spinach varieties
Smooth leaf texture makes washing, post-harvest processing, kitchen preparation quick, easy
Superior cold tolerance allows late-season crops to easily survive early autumn frosts

Requires wider plant spacing (6–9 inches apart) to reach full rosette size potential
Sensitive to high midsummer heat, which causes eventual bolting despite slow-bolting genetic trait
