Beta, Swiss Chard (Edible) 'Ruby Red'

Description
Ruby Red features large green crinkled leaves with deep red veins and stems. Delicious, highly nutritious, and easy to grow.
Plant outdoors in early spring to summer, and again in fall for winter crops in mild climates. Prefers full sun and consistent watering. Can withstand a mild frost. Acidic soil will stunt growth. Snip off outer leaves at the base of the plant as they mature. New leaves will grow for a continuous supply throughout the season.
