- Sun Preference
- Full-Sun, Part-Sun
Description
The classic Swiss Chard known for its high yields all season long. Large, dark green leaves are packed with nutrients. Easy to grow, a vigorous producer in all climates.
Prefers direct sun and regular watering. Chard is a cold weather vegetable and can withstand a very mild frost. Acidic soil will stunt growth. Snip off the outer leaves at the base of the plant as they mature. New leaves will grow back for a continuous supply.
