Other: Swiss Chard offers a continuous harvest of leaves (cut & come again), or the entire plant can be left to mature & harvested whole. The plants will tolerate some frost so can be planted in spring or fall. They can be overwintered in warmer climates, and/or reseed themselves for new early spring growth. Swiss Chard is easy to grow, disease resistant, & will tolerate poor soil & drought. The leaves can be enjoyed raw in salads, steamed, stir-fried, or any way spinach is used. The stalks can be eaten like celery. This chard has a less bitter taste than other chards. It has heavily crinkled leaves with very ornamental red stalks & veins. It is an excellent variety for market or home.
