Beta, Swiss Chard 'Garden Rainbow' Organic Heirloom
- Sun Preference
- Full-Sun
Description
A bouquet of multicolored stems and wrinkled green and bronze leaves. Harvest tender young leaves for subtle, earthy flavor. Nutritious and easy to grow. A vigorous producer in all climates.
Start seeds outdoors in early spring to summer and again in fall for winter crops in mild climates. Prefers direct sun and regular watering. Chard is a cool weather vegetable and may withstand a very mild frost. Acidic soil will stunt growth. Cut mature outer leaves at the base of the plant or use scissors to cut about one inch from the ground for baby leaves. Cook lightly to retain bright colors.
