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

Enjoy months of fresh, nutritious greens with Perpetual Spinach Seeds (Beta vulgaris) from Survival Garden Seeds. Also known as Forever Spinach or Bietola a Costa Fine, this heirloom Swiss chard variety offers the mild, tender flavor of true spinach with far greater resilience—thriving in both heat and light frost for an extended harvest season.

Reliable, Long-Season Greens:
Perpetual Spinach grows where traditional spinach struggles. This variety produces smooth, vibrant green leaves and thin, pale stems that stay tender and flavorful even in warm weather. It performs from spring through fall, and in mild zones can continue producing into winter, ensuring a dependable supply of leafy greens for your kitchen.

Why Gardeners Love Perpetual Spinach:

  • Extended harvest window – Heat- and frost-tolerant plants yield for months from a single sowing.
  • Cut-and-come-again growth – Harvest outer leaves often for continuous production.
  • Easy and productive – Germinates in 7–14 days, ready to pick in 50–60 days.
  • Adaptable growing style – Grows well in garden beds, raised planters, or containers, and even hydroponic systems.
  • Spinach-like flavor – Offers the familiar taste and tenderness of spinach with the vigor of Swiss chard.

How to Grow:
Sow seeds directly outdoors once the soil is workable, or start indoors for an early start. Plant in full sun with well-drained, fertile soil, spacing plants 12–18 inches apart. Keep soil evenly moist for steady growth. Mature plants reach 18–24 inches tall with a 12–18 inch spread. Suitable for USDA Zones 2–11.

Harvest & Use:
Pick outer leaves regularly, allowing new growth to emerge for a cut-and-come-again harvest all season long. Enjoy fresh leaves in salads, sautés, soups, casseroles, or smoothies, or preserve by freezing or canning for year-round nutrition.

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.
