Very cold-tolerant – bolts quickly in warmth.
Spinach (also known as Spinat) belongs to the Vegetables category and is suitable for outdoor planting from Early Spring onwards.
Use the Growing Temperature Sum (GTS) as a guide: Spinach can be safely transplanted once the local GTS has passed the threshold for Early Spring and no frost is expected. GrowPilot.guide calculates the current GTS for your location automatically.
🗓️ Tip: Always check the 10-day weather forecast before planting outdoors. The GTS is a helpful guide but does not replace a frost check for your specific area.
Spinach is very frost-hardy and survives even hard freezes. Can be planted in late winter or very early spring. Minimum night temperature: -3°C (ideal, not a strict requirement).
Spinach grows best at daytime temperatures between 8°C and 20°C. Night temperatures should not fall below -3°C.
Spinach is relatively robust against mold and tolerates wetter conditions well. Still, always avoid waterlogging.
Rain sensitivity: Low – Relatively rain-tolerant – good drainage is sufficient.
