Corvair is a modern F1 hybrid spinach with smooth, flat, deep green leaves and outstanding disease resistance, developed for both baby-leaf and bunching production. Its broad, rounded leaves are thick and dark, holding up well after harvest and offering excellent shelf life. Corvair is prized by growers for carrying resistance to a wide range of downy mildew races, one of the most comprehensive disease packages available in a smooth-leaf spinach. The upright plants are productive and slow to bolt, performing well across spring, fall, and protected winter plantings. Its clean, smooth leaves are easy to wash and attractive in salad mixes.
