Regiment is an F1 hybrid semi-savoy spinach widely grown for its high yield, upright habit, and dark green, moderately crinkled leaves. The semi-savoy texture offers a full leaf with easier cleaning than heavily savoyed types, and the thick leaves have good weight and durability. Regiment is vigorous and productive, standing upright to keep leaves clean and making it well suited to bunching and full-size harvests. It carries resistance to several races of downy mildew and holds reasonably well before bolting. These traits made Regiment a longtime favorite for both fresh-market growers and home gardeners who want a heavy-yielding, clean, dependable semi-savoy hybrid across spring and fall plantings.
