Arrowhead shaped leaves on plants that ran to seed faster than most of the other 4 spinach varieties I grew at the same time. Only Indian Summer was as quick to bolt (go to seed). Not recommended, although I have limited experience with this one.

This looked like a nice spinach when I bought it, but proved to be a frustrating disappointment. The leaves were very small and spear-shaped, so even in peak productivity I never got much from a harvest. The flavor was fair but unremarkable, and the plants bolted quickly. After trying a second year my mom took the seed I was going to pitch. She threw it out after trying it herself. So many better choices out there!
