Tyee is a popular F1 hybrid semi-savoy spinach long favored for its vigor, upright habit, and resistance to bolting. The semi-savoy leaves are moderately crinkled, offering the fuller texture of savoy types while remaining easier to clean. Tyee grows quickly and holds well in warm weather, making it a strong choice for late spring and overwintered plantings. It carries resistance to several races of downy mildew and produces a heavy yield of dark green, upright leaves that resist mud splash. These qualities made Tyee a longtime standard for both market and home growers seeking dependable performance across seasons. Its combination of slow bolting, disease resistance, and clean upright growth keeps it a trusted semi-savoy hybrid.
