Sandy C This is the first time purchasing this variety. I wanted to try a winter spinach. I'm giving it 5 stars at this point because it germinated... yay! I can't comment yet on how well it grows or the taste. Will know in a month or so.

John Carls This variety winters over well here in Colorado. It puts out plenty of leaves in the fall for salads then is up by March and seems very slow to bolt in Summer. My neighbors were so jealous!

Paul from Kansas I planted the Gigante D'Inverno Spinach early this Spring under rowcover. It is by far the biggest and best Spring sown spinach that I have ever grown. I did not expect it to do well in the Spring. Thought you might like to know this. I finished picking my Gigante spinach today.
... Everything I wrote last time is true but Gigante bolts quickly so pick it early before mid May. It's size and rapid growth make growing it under row cover or in a hoophouse worthwhile for early harvest of big spinach.

Don OK, I love spinach and I've grown many varieties. But Gigante is the best I've ever tried. The huge leaves are tender and sweet, some big enough to wrap a small chicken if you are so moved. And each plant is super productive and fast growing. I fed my family from a 4'x12' raised bed and am now growing it in winter in a hoop house. I can't walk by without grabbing a few leaves to munch on. Give it a try. You'll write to thank me as I'm doing to thank Grow Italian.

Horseshoe in NC I first grew Gigante d'Inverno spinach a few years ago and was impressed from the very beginning. The seeds offered excellent germination and the plants grew HUGE, living up to their name "Gigantic". Unfortunately this review won't let me post a photo or I could show you spinach leaves as big, or bigger, than my hands.
The texture of the leaves is tender, perfect for fresh eating in salads, and it only takes a few leaves to make a very large salad!
This is the best spinach I've grown in the past 3 decades. Then again, I should rephrase that to 'this is the best spinach I've ever grown'! I'm sure I'll be growing this variety the rest of my gardening life.
