Beta, Swiss Chard 'Rhubarb' Organic Heirloom
- Sun Preference
- Full-Sun, Part-Sun
Description
Featuring crimson stalks and striking red and green crinkled leaves, this member of the beet family is a nutrient powerhouse. One planting in the spring will produce crops from midsummer to fall. Very easy to grow. Delicious when steamed, stir-fried or boiled.
Start seeds outdoors in early spring to summer and again in fall for winter crops in mild areas. Thin plants to 6″. Normal weeding and watering will produce a fine crop. Snip off outer leaves at the base of the plant as they mature. New leaves will grow back for a continuous supply. The deepest red color will occur during cool weather in late summer and fall.
