What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Experience the rich flavor and productivity of Viroflay Spinach Seeds, a classic French heirloom non-GMO variety celebrated for its giant, tender leaves and mild, sweet taste. Known for producing leaves up to 10 inches long, Viroflay delivers abundant harvests for both baby spinach and mature greens—making it a favorite among home gardeners seeking flavor, yield, and reliability.

Giant Heirloom with Sweet, Tender Leaves:
Viroflay is prized for its smooth, deep-green foliage and quick growth. The leaves are perfect for fresh salads, smoothies, sautés, and soups—or freeze them for long-term storage. Harvest early for delicate baby spinach or allow full maturity for large, hearty greens that hold their texture well when cooked.

Fast-Growing and Versatile:

  • Ready for baby greens in just a few weeks
  • Matures quickly for full-sized spinach harvests
  • Performs beautifully in garden beds, raised planters, or containers
  • Excellent for hydroponic or indoor growing under lights
  • Perfect for succession planting to ensure a continuous harvest

Cold-Hardy and Shade-Tolerant:
A dependable cool-weather crop, Viroflay spinach thrives in spring and fall gardens and performs well in mild winter climates. It tolerates light frosts and partial shade, helping to prevent premature bolting during warmer months. Adaptable across most USDA growing zones, it’s a reliable option from northern to southern regions.

How to Grow Viroflay Spinach:

  • When to Plant: Sow directly outdoors in early spring or late summer
  • Light: Partial to full sun; provide shade in hot climates
  • Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil with consistent moisture
  • Depth: Plant ½ inch deep; thin seedlings to 3–4 inches apart
  • Watering: Keep soil evenly moist to encourage rapid growth
  • Harvest: Baby leaves in 25–30 days; full maturity in 45–55 days

Succession planting every few weeks ensures a steady supply of fresh greens through multiple seasons.

Why Gardeners Love Viroflay Spinach:

  • Giant heirloom variety with large, sweet, tender leaves
  • Fast-growing and highly productive
  • Cold-hardy and shade-tolerant for longer harvests
  • Adaptable for indoor or outdoor growing

Frequently Asked Questions

What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques.

You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

How do I know my seeds are fresh?

Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.

Are your seeds treated?

No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

In what zones can I grow your seeds?

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?

Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
